The singer, 35, kicked the new year off with a quick reflection about the accessory — which theJonas Brotherswore as a symbol of their commitment to hold off on having sex and which were practically synonymous with the band during their early days in the 2000s.

“When someone’s complaining to me but they never had to wear a piece of jewelry that let everybody know that they’re a virgin,” Jonas wrote over a Jan. 3TikTok, which features him lip-syncing to a popular TikTok soundbite.

“I don’t even think you really know what a bad day is,” he mouthed along to a soundbite ofRussell Crowe’s character in his 2020 movieUnhinged.

Joe also responded to several users who reminisced about his purity ring era along with him — and he didn’t hold back.

“Is it bad i wanted one [because] of yall,” one user wrote, to which he simply replied, “Yes.”

“I remember the priest at my church talked about what good role models you guys were for wearing them 😭,” another said, and he responded with an emoji: “😖.”

He even addressed a comment about the 2009South Parkepisode, “The Ring,” which poked fun at the brothers' decision to wear the rings.

“Stopppp I just showed my [boyfriend] the South Park purity ring scene 🤣🤣🤣,” one comment read. And, giving his stamp of approval, Joe responded, “That episode slaps.”

Joe’s latest TikTokisn’t the first time he has discussed his iconic ring.

In 2022, the singer shared a TikTok duet to a viral video of a large group asking the camera, “Are you a virgin?” — and added a throwback picture of himself, Nick and Kevin next to it.

“Me and my brothers literally doing anything in our teen years,” he wrote over the clip.
