Music in My Soul: A Jonas Brothers Retrospective

In honor of the Jonas Brothers reunion, let’s take a look back at the music that made them famous. From early hits like “S.O.S.” to more recent songs like “Cool,” the Jonas Brothers have always had a place in our hearts.

The Early Years

It all started in 2005 with a little band called the Jonas Brothers. Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas rose to fame with their first album It’s About Time. The album did relatively well, but it was their second album, Jonas Brothers, that made them superstars. The album featured hit singles like “S.O.S” and “Hold On,” and the Jonas Brothers became a household name. Let’s take a look back at their early years.

“Please Be Mine”

The Jonas Brothers’ first single, “Please Be Mine,” was released in 2007, when the boys were just teenagers. The track is a lighthearted, upbeat love song that set the tone for the group’s future hits. Though it didn’t achieve much commercial success, “Please Be Mine” introduced fans to the Jonas Brothers’ trademark sound – simple, catchy pop tunes with clean-cut vocals and tight harmonies.

“S.O.S.”

“S.O.S.” was released as the lead single from the Jonas Brothers’ self-titled second album on May 16, 2007. The song peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming their second top 20 hit in the United States. “S.O.S.” was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold over 2 million copies in the country.

“Hold On”

“Hold On” was the first single off of the Jonas Brothers’ self-titled second album, which was released in 2007. The album marked a shift in the band’s sound, as they began to experiment with different genres and styles. “Hold On” is a pop-rock song with a positive message about staying strong in the face of adversity. The track was co-written by all three brothers and features some of their signature harmonies.

The Rise to Stardom

It’s been almost a decade since the Jonas Brothers first hit the music scene. Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas burst onto the scene with their debut album It’s About Time in 2006. The album was a huge success, spawning the hit single “Year 3000.” The Jonas Brothers quickly became a tween sensation, and their popularity only continued to grow.

“When You Look Me in the Eyes”

“When You Look Me in the Eyes” is a song written and recorded by the Jonas Brothers for their second studio album, Jonas Brothers (2007). The ballad talks about everlasting love and rising above all odds to stay together. It was released to country radio on January 15, 2008 as the fourth single from the album and was later serviced to pop radio on May 6, 2008. The single peaked at number 7 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Pop Songs charts. Internationally, it charted within the top ten of eight other countries.

After its release, “When You Look Me in the Eyes” went through several stages of success. Commercially, the song did well on both radio formats, peaking at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Pop Songs charts respectively. “When You Look Me in the Eyes” also found success internationally, charting within the top ten of eight countries.

The song’s music video was shot in February 2008 and features all three brothers alongside then-girlfriends: Kevin with Danielle Deleasa, Joe with Blanda Eggenschwiler (who would later become his wife), and Nick with Miley Cyrus (who he would later date from June 2006 to December 2007). The video Spending eleven weeks on airplay charts, it became one of their most successful videos.

“Burnin’ Up”

The Jonas Brothers had their big break in 2008 with the release of their single “Burnin’ Up.” The song was an instant hit, reaching the top of the charts and helping to propel the group to superstardom. “Burnin’ Up” remains one of the group’s most popular songs, and is a fan favorite at their live concerts.

“Lovebug”

The Jonas Brothers’ third album, A Little Bit Longer, was released in the summer of 2008 and featured the lead single, “Lovebug”. The song was an instant success, reaching the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album went on to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over two million copies in the United States.

The Hiatus and Reunion

It’s been six years since the Jonas Brothers released new music, but they’re finally back – and better than ever. In this retrospective, we’ll take a look at the hiatus that led to their reunion, as well as their new album and tour.

“Sucker”

The Jonas Brothers reunion is finally here, and we’ve got “Sucker” to tide us over until the release of their new album, Happiness Begins, on June 7. The band’s first single in six years, “Sucker” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the group’s first No. 1 single as a trio.

But while “Sucker” may be the Jonas Brothers’ first new track in half a decade, it’s not their first reunion song. In 2016, the brothers released “Hesitate,” a track from Joe Jonas’ solo album Fastlife. And in 2017, Nick Jonas was featured on Demi Lovato’s song “Sorry Not Sorry.”

But “Sucker” is the first track that truly feels like a proper reunion for the Jonas Brothers. It’s a return to their roots, with a sound that will be instantly familiar to fans of their early work. The song is pure pop perfection, with a hook that will get stuck in your head for days.

The lyrics are an ode to love and commitment, something that the Jonas Brothers know a thing or two about. After all, they’ve been through some highs and lows over the years, but they’re still together and going strong.

If “Sucker” is any indication of what’s to come from Happiness Begins, then we’re in for a treat. The Jonas Brothers are back and better than ever before.

“Cool”

The song “Cool” was released as a single on March 1, 2019, after the group’s hiatus. The song marks the first release of new music from the group in six years. The song debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the highest-charting single of their career.

“Only Human”

The album’s first single, “Sucker,” was released on March 1, 2019, and became the Jonas Brothers’ first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in nine years. On March 28, 2019, the album was released along with a music video for each song. The album received positive reviews from critics, who praised the group’s return to form.

The Legacy

When the Jonas Brothers announced their reunion in 2019, the world rejoiced. The band, which had been on hiatus since 2013, was back and better than ever. For fans who had grown up with the band, it was a chance to relive their childhood. For new fans, it was an opportunity to discover the music of one of the most successful bands of all time.

“What a Man Gotta Do”

As the Jonas Brothers make their comeback with a new album and tour, let’s take a look back at one of their most underrated songs, “What a Man Gotta Do.”

The track was released as part of the soundtrack for the 2020 movie Knives Out. The movie itself is a star-studded whodunnit that features Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Chris Evans. The soundtrack was equally as star-studded, with artists like Halsey, Weezer, and HAIM contributing tracks.

The Jonas Brothers’ “What a Man Gotta Do” fit right in with the rest of the soundtrack. The song is a smooth R&B track with a retro sound. The lyrics are about a man who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his woman happy.

The music video for “What a Man Gotta Do” is just as smooth as the song. It features the three brothers going about their daily lives while trying to win over the affections of three women. The video ends with a dance sequence that pays homage to iconic film scenes like Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction.

While “What A Man Gotta Do” may not be the Jonas Brothers’ most popular song, it’s definitely one of their most underrated tracks.

“I Believe”

“I Believe” is a song from the Jonas Brothers’ first album It’s About Time. The song was written by the brothers themselves and is about having hope and faith. The Legacy is an album about coming of age and growing up, and this song is about having hope for the future.

“Hesitate”

“Hesitate” is a ballad from the Jonas Brothers’ 2010 album “Lines, Vines and Trying Times”. The song was written by the band with additional writers Luke Walker and Billy Lewis Jr.

The track is about a guy agonizing over a break-up, and whether or not he should try to get back together with his ex. Joe Jonas sings the lead vocals on “Hesitate”, with his brothers Nick and Kevin providing background vocals.

The song received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised its emotional lyrics and Joe’s vocal performance, while others dismissed it as being too sappy and melodramatic. Despite this, “Hesitate” was a moderate success on radio, peaking at #24 on the US Billboard Pop Songs chart.
