A performer since the age of seven (the age at which he joined the Broadway cast of Annie Get Your Gun), Nicholas made his songwriting debut in 2002, when a holiday tune he'd co-written with his father found its way onto a Broadway Christmas album. A contract with Columbia Records followed two years later. Nicholas began prepping for his solo career by writing material with his older brothers, Kevin and Joseph, who eventually climbed aboard as permanent partners. Nick's solo project thus blossomed into a full-fledged band, and the siblings aptly named themselves the Jonas Brothers.
It took several years for the Jonas Brothers to find an adoring audience. It's About Time, the band's 2006 debut, was a commercial flop, and Columbia Records dropped the group one year later. Signing with Hollywood Records in 2007, the band began attracting new fans -- most of them young and female -- by establishing a presence in the Disney world. They appeared on the network's television shows, earned their own series, starred in a made-for-TV movie with Disney starlet Demi Lovato, and sold close to two million copies of their self-titled sophomore album. They replicated that feat one year later with A Little Bit Longer and returned in 2009 with Lines, Vines and Trying Times. All of the albums featured heavy contributions from Nick, who not only led the songwriting process but also played a wide variety of instruments, from drums to keyboard to guitar.
Taking a rare break from the band, Nick Jonas began working with several other musicians on a side project in late 2009. Members from Prince's New Power Generation were recruited to join the lineup, including Michael Bland and Tommy Barbarella, and the group dubbed itself Nick Jonas & the Administration before making its debut in early 2010 with the album Who I Am. The record performed respectably, peaking at three on the U.S. charts on its way to sales of 151,000, but there were soon suggestions that Nick was planning to return to the Jonas Brothers fold. This didn't happen. A 2013 tour was scrapped just prior to its October launch and, soon afterward, the band split. Nick Jonas regrouped with a 2014 solo tour followed by the November release of an eponymous album. Over the course of 2014, Jonas gained momentum, generating the Top 10 single "Jealous," which also topped Billboard's dance charts, as did "Chains " and "Levels," a bonus track from 2015's Nick Jonas X2.
In the Summer of 2016, Jonas returned with a new full-length effort, Last Year Was Complicated, featuring production by Jason Evigan, Mattman & Robin, Sir Nolan, and others. Included on the album was "Close," a duet with Tove Lo, and "Bacon," featuring Ty Dolla $ign. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. Also around this time, Jonas returned to acting, starring in the erotic thriller Careful What You Wish For and the fraternity hazing drama Goat. In 2017, he released the singles "Remember I Told You," featuring Anne-Marie and Mike Posner, and "Find You." Also that year, he collaborated with Nicki Minaj on the track "Bom Bidi Bom" off the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack.
2Drunk
Nick Jonas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh my God, it's five once again
Pour another drink, pour another drink
And take it down
All my friends are home, so am I
So I drink alone, justified
Nobody around, nobody around
Keeping count
Now I'm dancin' in the kitchen, breakin' all the dishes
Breakin' all the rules that I set myself
I swore I wouldn't lose my mind again
Yeah, what would mama say? She'd say
Oh, you never know when to stop
Like every day's Friday night
I'm too drunk and I'm all in my feelings
Oh well, now I'm high as the ceiling
And oh, I think I just hit my stride
'Til I wake up and hate my life
I'm too drunk and I'm all in my feelings
Oh well, now I'm high as the ceiling
Oh
I'm high as the ceiling
Should I send that text? Maybe not
But I miss that sex quite a lot
It's five o'clock somewhere
Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' 'bout me
Now I'm dancin' in the kitchen, breakin' all the dishes
Breakin' all the rules that I set myself
I swore I wouldn't lose my mind again
Yeah, what would mama say? She'd say
Oh, you never know when to stop
Like every day's Friday night
I'm too drunk and I'm all in my feelings
Oh well, now I'm high as the ceiling
And oh, I think I just hit my stride
'Til I wake up and hate my life
I'm too drunk and I'm all in my feelings
Oh well, now I'm high as the ceiling
Oh, yeah
Woo, uh-huh
I'm high as the ceiling
Nothing good happens after four in the morning
But it's another day, guess I'm keeping it going
Did some crazy things but that was yesterday
But what would mama say? She'd say
Oh, you never know when to stop
Like every day's Friday night
I'm too drunk and I'm all in my feelings
Oh well, now I'm high as the ceiling
And oh, I think I just hit my stride
'Til I wake up and hate my life
I'm too drunk and I'm all in my feelings
Oh well, now I'm high as the ceiling
She'd say oh
The lyrics of Nick Jonas's song "2Drunk" describes the experience of drinking alone when all your friends are home, and how it leads to breaking self-imposed rules and engaging in activities you wouldn't normally do. The song is a reflection of the feeling of being wasted to the point of being inebriated and high, making decisions that are questionable and not in line with what you would typically do. Nick Jonas is describing how alcohol can lead to people making poor decisions and justifying them with the fact that they are high and alone.
The chorus of the song is the most significant part, whereby the singer in the song is admitting that they are too drunk and are in their feelings, though they continue to drink more. They feel justified and feel like they have hit their stride, though they are bound to regret their decisions when they wake up to hate their lives. The verse "Nothing good happens after four in the morning / But it's another day, guess I'm keeping it going," describes how addiction to alcohol can make someone continue drinking despite knowing that it is not good for their health and can lead to negative consequences.
Overall, the song highlights how drinking can lead to people engaging in activities that would not be their norm, as well as lead to regrettable actions. It also highlights the struggle that people go through when trying to cut back or stop drinking.
Line by Line Meaning
Turn the TV off, make the bed
It's time to wind down and prepare for sleep
Oh my God, it's five once again
It's early morning and time to go to bed
Pour another drink, pour another drink
Despite the time, it's tempting to continue drinking
And take it down
Keep drinking until the glass is empty
All my friends are home, so am I
Everyone else is asleep and I'm alone with my thoughts
So I drink alone, justified
Drinking seems like the right thing to do in this moment
Nobody around, nobody around
It's just me and my thoughts, with no distractions
Keeping count
Tracking how much alcohol has been consumed
Now I'm dancin' in the kitchen, breakin' all the dishes
The alcohol has caused reckless behavior and a disregard for consequences
Breakin' all the rules that I set myself
Ignoring personal boundaries and limits that were previously established
I swore I wouldn't lose my mind again
Trying to avoid spinning out of control like in the past
Yeah, what would mama say? She'd say
Reflecting on the potential disappointment and disapproval from one's mother
Oh, you never know when to stop
Admitting to having an issue controlling alcohol consumption
Like every day's Friday night
Treating every night like a weekend celebration
I'm too drunk and I'm all in my feelings
Feeling emotional and overwhelmed due to being intoxicated
Oh well, now I'm high as the ceiling
Admitting to being extremely intoxicated and feeling the effects
And oh, I think I just hit my stride
Surprising oneself with the ability to continue drinking
'Til I wake up and hate my life
Acknowledging that excessive drinking leads to negative consequences and regret
Should I send that text? Maybe not
Questioning the decision to reach out to someone while under the influence
But I miss that sex quite a lot
Admitting to craving physical intimacy
It's five o'clock somewhere
Justification for continuing to drink despite the early morning hour
Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' 'bout me
Wondering if the person they miss is also missing them
Nothing good happens after four in the morning
Acknowledging the dangers and possible negative outcomes of staying awake late and drinking
But it's another day, guess I'm keeping it going
Despite the risks, continuing to drink and ignoring the consequences
