He is currently signed to Visionary Music Group and Capitol Records. Bellion also opened the concerts from the third leg of twenty one pilots' Emotional Roadshow World Tour, which also featured guest artists Judah and the Lion.
Strictly a producer at age 14, Bellion became increasingly fed up with being asked for generic records. After literally giving singing and rapping "a shot" out of frustration, the now 32-year-old Bellion has developed an incredibly unique lane untouched by anyone. His obsession with moving forward and experimentation has driven him to create "solid and refreshing tunes", and in the words of Jon himself "that's all that really matters"
Jon's 2010 mixtape "Scattered Thoughts Vol. 1", an exploration of different genres all written, composed, produced, and sung by Jon, is available to download from his official site: http://www.jonbellion.com/
Bellion has since released three more mixtapes: Translations Through Speakers, The Separation, and The Definition.
His first album 'The Human Condition' was released on June 10th, 2016; his first piece of music that was sold instead of given for free. His second album "Glory Sound Prep" was released on November 9th, 2018. His single, "Crop Circles" was released on May 31, 2019.
Bellion embarked on The Glory Sound Prep Tour which began on June 12 and concluded on November 12 of the same year. He helped produce and write singles such as "Stacy" and "Life Must Go On" by Quinn XCII, as well as "Liar" and "Shameless" by Camila Cabello, "Graveyard" by Halsey, and "Memories" by Maroon 5, "Holy" by Justin Bieber, featuring Chance the Rapper. Bellion co-wrote multiple songs on Justin Bieber's Justice album, including the hit song "Ghost", which Bellion says he wrote about his late grandmother. The song reached #1 on US Pop Radio. He also co-wrote and co-produced "Vulnerable" from Selena Gomez's 2020 album Rare and co-wrote "Daisies" by Katy Perry.
On June 8, 2021, Bellion took to Twitter where he tweeted "New music" before quickly deleting the tweet. He then changed his social media into a "blacked-out" state a couple of weeks later. Jon was featured on Lawrence's song "False Alarms" released on July 22, 2021. Bellion released his first single in over 2 years, "I Feel It" (with Burna Boy) on September 17, 2021. On February 19, 2023, Bellion released an unfinished song called "Fallen" to his social media. The song features Jon Batiste.
In July 2019, Bellion launched his own record label called Beautiful Mind Records and signed the pop/soul band, Lawrence. Lawrence was the opener for most of his shows on the Glory Sound Prep Tour. He helped write and produce three singles off of their 2021 debut album Hotel TV: "Casualty", "It's Not All About You", and "The Weather".
Bellion has stated that his intention with this new label is to "take care of artists for the rest of their careers" and to create a family of musical creators who he supports and with whom he collaborates.
Bellion has stated on multiple occasions that Kanye West is one of his biggest inspirations. "I loved everything but it was Kanye West who really changed everything for me." Bellion has also stated that he was inspired by Eminem, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay, John Mayer, André 3000, and Paul Simon. Bellion has also made it known that he is a big fan of J Dilla and the animated film studio Pixar, drawing inspiration from the musician and computer animation film studio for both The Definition and The Human Condition. Bellion explains that he loves how Pixar movies are "simple yet presented in a way that is groundbreaking". Bellion credits much of his musical development and success to his bandmates whom he met while in college, expressing his love for them in his "Beautiful Mind Documentary" stating, "Everybody in my band has taught me something, and has gotten me to where I am because of them" continuing "I surround myself with people better than me at something, you will very rarely see somebody around me, especially musically, who I don't look up to".
One More Time
Jon Bellion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your father said he would break my legs
If I ever came around again!
I don't mind risking the wheelchair
If we could get another round again.
Oh, you told him you would stay away
But here you are
You touch my chest
I feel your legs
We're in to far, I hear you say
Chorus:
One more time
(I need you, I need you, I need you! )
One more time
(I need you, I need you, I need you! )
It's dangerous in the section sequence
And I'm ready to die hard!
It's like we're stuck in an 80s movies
As you're sneaking into my car!
Oh, oh you told him you would stay away
But here you are
I kiss your face
You touch my chest
I feel your legs
We're in to far, I hear you say
Chorus:
One more time
(I need you, I need you, I need you! )
One more time
(I need you, I need you, I need you! )
As we wake up in my car, you're on my chest
Oh, and you got ninety missed calls, one hundred texts
Screw your pops, let's get some iHop!
Screw your pops, let's get some iHop!
Screw your pops, let's get some iHop!
But before we go
You told me that we should do it
Chorus:
One more time
(I need you, I need you, I need you! )
One more time
(I need you, I need you, I need you! )
The lyrics of Jon Bellion's song "One More Time" explore the idea of a forbidden love between two people who are willing to risk it all just to be together. The opening lines allude to the dangers of the relationship as the singer mentions the threat of being beaten up by his lover's father. Despite this, he is still willing to take the risk as long as they can be together one more time. He is so desperate to see her that he doesn't even mind being in a wheelchair if it means they can spend time together.
The chorus repeats the phrase "one more time" over and over again, highlighting the desperation of the singer to be with his lover. He knows that he shouldn't be there, but he can't help himself as he is consumed by his love for her. The imagery used in the second verse paints a picture of them sneaking around like characters in an 80s movie. It's clear that they know what they're doing is dangerous and could have serious consequences, but they're willing to take the risk anyway.
The final verse suggests that their relationship has repercussions beyond just physical danger. The singer wakes up to find that his lover has received multiple missed calls and texts from her father, which could hint at the potential fallout from their actions. Despite this, they both decide to ignore the consequences and head to iHop together. The final chorus emphasizes their determination to be together despite the adversity they may face.
Overall, "One More Time" is a song about the risks and rewards of forbidden love. It's about two people who know they shouldn't be together but can't help their feelings. The lyrics are full of imagery and emotion, painting a vivid picture of their dangerous, exhilarating relationship.
