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.

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.

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.

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.

Ooh la la
By the pool we're singing "Bailando"
Two ni-nights with a view, yeah
Keeping those blinds closed, yeah
She said I wanna find somebody by nightfall
Ooh na na, could it be ya

The Jonas Brothers and Karol G's "X" is a song that tells the story of two people who meet each other in a party, and the chemistry between them is undeniable. They dance and sing by the pool, and as the night progresses, they feel more and more attracted to each other. The lyrics describe the feelings of lust and desire that the two people experience, and they use the refrain "Ooh la la" to express their excitement. The chorus is an invitation to kiss each other passionately, forgetting about their past lovers, and enjoying the thrill of something new.
The song has a Latin pop vibe with catchy melodies, and the lyrics are in both English and Spanish. It's a perfect collaboration between the Jonas Brothers, who are known for their pop sound, and Karol G, who is one of the most famous Latin urban artists. They combine their styles to create a unique song that has a global appeal.
One of the most interesting aspects of the song is that the chorus includes the line "Kiss me like your ex is in the room." It's an unexpected and bold request that creates a sense of urgency and excitement. The line "If you play it right, you can be that someone who won't leave me lonely tonight" is also memorable, as it speaks to the universal desire of finding love and companionship.
