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.
Champagne Problems
Nick Jonas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many pieces have to break?
So many reasons not to celebrate
But I hate to see you cry so let's drink before goodbye
I got a bottle I've been saving up
Thought that we'd drink it all night, hey
We were the opposite of breaking up
We just opened up too soon
We got champagne problems
Only one way to solve 'em
Raising our glass 'cause it's our last
With these champagne problems
Just keep on, keep on drinking
Keep on, keep on drinking
Keep on, keep on
How many clothes end up on the floor?
Didn't we just break each other's hearts?
Didn't you have one foot out the door?
Better to fall in love than lose, wish I didn't have to choose
We got champagne problems
Only one way to solve 'em
Raising our glass 'cause it's our last
With these champagne problems
Just keep on, keep on drinking
Keep on, keep on drinking
Keep on, keep on
We got champagne problems
Oh my God, the room is spinning from the Perignon
And you're still with me but you're very gone
It feels so right but we both know it's wrong
When you got, when you got, when you got
Champagne problems
Only one way to solve 'em
Raising our glass 'cause it's our last
With these champagne problems
Just keep on, keep on drinking
Champagne problems (keep on, keep on)
Only one way to solve 'em
Raising our glass 'cause it's our last
With these champagne problems
Just keep on, keep on drinking
Keep on, keep on drinking
Keep on, keep on
We got champagne problems
The lyrics to Nick Jonas's song Champagne Problems speak about the end of a relationship, and the difficulty of ending things with someone you love. The first verse asks how many times the couple has been in this situation, feeling like they have to break up, and how many times they have been hurt. Despite their reasons for wanting to end things, the singer hates to see his partner cry, so he suggests they drink and enjoy their time together before saying goodbye. He has a bottle of champagne that he's been saving, thinking they would drink it all night and celebrate their love. They were meant to be together, and it's hard to believe they're breaking up. They just opened up too soon and now they have to deal with their champagne problems.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "champagne problems," suggesting that the difficulties they're facing are luxuries that they don't really have to deal with - like problems associated with drinking champagne. They could solve their problems by simply raising their glasses and drinking up, enjoying each other's company before they part ways. In the second verse, they admit that they've hurt each other before and they've almost broken up in the past. The singer wishes they didn't have to choose between falling deeper in love and losing each other. Despite their problems, they continue to drink and celebrate, even though they know it's wrong.
Overall, the song speaks about the complexities of relationships and how some problems can seem like luxuries - "champagne problems" - but they're still issues that need to be resolved. The lyrics suggest that drinking champagne is a way to distract themselves from their problems and prolong the inevitable, but at least they can enjoy each other's company one last time.
