In the summer of 2008, they starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock and its sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. They also starred as Kevin, Joe, and Nick Lucas, the band JONAS, in their own Disney Channel series JONAS, which was later re-branded for its second season as Jonas L.A. The show was eventually canceled after two seasons. The band released four albums: It's About Time, Jonas Brothers, A Little Bit Longer, and Lines, Vines and Trying Times.
In 2008, the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award at the 51st Grammy Awards and won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the American Music Awards. Before the release of Lines, Vines and Trying Times, they sold over eight million albums worldwide. After a hiatus in 2010 and 2011 to pursue solo projects, the group reconciled in 2012 to record a new album, which was canceled in 2013 following their breakup. In the years that followed, Nick became a solo artist and actor, Joe formed a band called DNCE, and Kevin stepped out of the spotlight to focus on his family. On February 28, 2019, the band announced their reunion on The Late Late Show with James Corden and planned to put out new music.
On March 1, they released a new single, "Sucker" under Republic Records. They appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden each night from March 4 to 7 to promote the track. The song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the US Hot Digital Songs chart, with 88,000 copies sold in its first week, becoming the Jonas Brothers' first number-one song and the first number-one by a boy band on the chart since 2003's "Bump, Bump, Bump" by B2K. It became the band's first entry on the chart since 2013's "Pom Poms" and their first top 10 since 2008's "Tonight". The Jonas Brothers also became the second group in history to have a song debut at number one after Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" and the first group in this century to achieve this. In its April 13, 2019 issue, "Sucker" became The Jonas' first top 10 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay, surging 20–6 in its third week of charting.
On April 5, the group released the single "Cool".

The group embarked on their tenth headlining tour, the "Happiness Begins Tour", performing 92 shows around the globe.
On January 17, 2020, the band released the single "What a Man Gotta Do". On January 24, they announced a residency show in Las Vegas named Jonas Brothers in Vegas at the Park Theater at Park MGM beginning on April 1, with eight other dates during the month keeping them in place until the 18th.

On October 30, they released another Christmas song titled "I Need You Christmas". On March 15, 2021, a deluxe version of Nick Jonas' fourth studio album, Spaceman, was released. The record included the song "Selfish", which featured the Jonas Brothers.
On May 19, 2021, the Jonas Brothers announced that they would be embarking on their eleventh headlining tour, the Remember This Tour, consisting of 44 shows at outdoor venues around the United States, with the tour beginning on August 20, 2021, in Las Vegas. During their Remember This Tour tour, the Jonas Brothers required all fans attending their shows to present proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative COVID-19 test. The brothers released a statement on social media saying "We believe this is the best thing we can do for our fans, our hard-working crew, and the communities we're visiting." Kelsea Ballerini was announced as a special guest for a majority of shows. On May 21, DJ Marshmello released "Leave Before You Love Me", a single featuring the Jonas Brothers. Two days later, they performed the single at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, with Nick Jonas also serving as the host for the ceremony. The single "Remember This" premiered on June 18 and was used in NBC's coverage of the 2020 Summer Olympics. They recorded the song "Mercy" for the soundtrack of Space Jam: A New Legacy which was released on July 9.
On September 5, 2021, during the band's Remember This Tour, the Jonas Brothers premiered a new song titled "Who's in Your Head" while performing at the Red Rocks Parks and Amphitheater in Colorado.

Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't need to question the reason I'm yours, I'm yours
I'd move the earth or lose a fight just to see you smile
'Cause you got no flaws, no flaws
I'm not tryna be your part-time lover
Sign me up for that full-time, I'm yours, all yours
What a man gotta do?
To be totally locked up by you
What a man gotta say?
What a man gotta pray?
To be your last "Goodnight" and your first "Good day"
So what a man gotta do?
What a man gotta do?
To be totally locked up by you

To be totally locked up by you
You ain't tryna be wasting time
On stupid people in cheap lines

So I'd give a million dollars
Just for you to grab me by the collar
And knock on these doors, these doors
I'm not tryna be your part-time lover
Sign me up for that full-time

The song "What A Man Gotta Do" by Jonas Brothers is essentially an open love letter from the singer to their partner. The song revolves around the idea of doing whatever it takes to win the heart of their beloved, and what actions or words are necessary to be "totally locked up" by them. The lyrics illustrate the depth of love and commitment that the singer feels towards their partner, and their willingness to go the extra mile just to see them happy.
The opening lines of the song "Caught my heart about one, two times, don't need to question the reason I'm yours, I'm yours" highlights the idea of falling in love at first sight and the singer's immediate attraction to their partner. Through the chorus, the singer repeats the refrain "What a man gotta do?" to emphasize the willingness to do whatever it takes to win their partner's heart. The lyrics point to money as a means to get their beloved's attention, "So I'd give a million dollars just for you to grab me by the collar, And I'll come build us, build us", but it is clear that the effort put into the relationship is what really matters.

I don't know what possessed me to click on a FRICKIN' JONAS BROTHER video, but last year, I needed SOMETHING and this turned out to be EXACTLY the joyful tonic my broken heart longed for.
My dudes, YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL WIVES... CAN GIT. IT.
I am 64 years old. I was privileged to attend the GREATEST rock&roll star shows in the early 70s BACKSTAGE. I have seen world class artists of every genre.
Never EVER expected to get such a helium high from the JONAS Brothers.
Fortunately for me, I don't have to hang my head in shame as they are married and a bit more ahem mature. :)
What I REALLY LIKE about these guys is that THEY are happy, KNOW they are talented, have their own adorable retro style (I LOVE IT!) and they are very obviously having SUCH a blast. Which easily translates into FUN. I WOULD ATTEND A SHOW by them, as long as it was in a cool retro club (think Bimbo's in San Francisco).
My goodness this was a big surprise to me. I'm glad I did not end up such a music snob that I would miss these tricks. THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN.
THANKS FOR THE LIFT, YOU KOOL KIDS YOU!
P.S. Find Lavay Smith (San Francisco-search her Blue Skies video) and take her on the ROAD (when safe...)
Stay well everyone, and pray for rain where it belongs, and sun where it's needed. Our planet is going to kick us off 'the island' if we don't figure something out really quickly!
<3

Nick: "If I'm going to be in tighty-whiteys for the entire video, you two have to be in them for at least one second each."
Joe: "But that doesn't make sense with the context of our scenes--"
Nick: "DOESN'T MATTER."
