No, you don't necessarily need your 2019 return to file as Single in 2020. However, you will need your AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) amount from your 2019 return to Efile this year.
This identifies you to the IRS. Even though that amount was for your joint return, both you and your ex-spouse will need to use that AGI number when Efiling this year.
