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.
Closer
Nick Jonas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I met you in April
You were looking at me
I know you like to run girl
So go on and set the pace
The liquor never tastes good
But I don't need to chase
Just fake it 'til you feel it
Open up and let me in
I just wanna feel you
Closer, closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Like the sun in December
Or a lemonade in June
I know what you want girl
'Cause I want it too
Have you ever noticed
That I can't see straight
'Cause I'm hooked on your body
Got me glued to your waist
Take another hit
Just fake it 'til you feel it
Open up and let me in
I just wanna feel you
Closer, closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer (closer), closer (closer)
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer (aye), closer (whatup Nick?)
Close enough to feel this moment (I like)
I look good, I smell good, I fuck good too
I'm looking around like
She would, and she would, and she probably would too (yup)
I'm sittin' on the couch like it's my house
You a bad girl, take a time out
Matter fact, you can bring a friend
My voice sound like silk in the wind
Henny bottles on my table
The owner was a fan, so that's already paid for
Girls lookin' at me like I got a halo
I don't do second dates, that's just how the game go
Look at my life, I made that shit
Look at my car, I suede that shit
Replay that shit
She don't fuck white boys
I'mma change that shit
Oh closer, closer (closer)
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer (oh no), closer (oh no)
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, closer
Close enough to feel this moment
The song “Closer” by Nick Jonas is about the moment of connection and attraction towards a person. The song is like a confession of the singer's attraction to his paramour. The introductory verse, “all I really know is that I felt okay when I met you in April” suggests that he is not sure about his feelings for her and doesn’t know why he feels okay around her. The lyrics further suggest that she is a runner and he advises her to set the pace as he follows her lead. Even though the singer admits the liquor doesn’t taste good, he doesn’t mind it since he doesn’t need to chase his love interest.
The chorus “closer, closer, close enough to feel this moment” suggests that he wants to get closer and feel the moment with her. He compares his love interest to the sun in winter or a lemonade in June which suggests that he has found someone unique and special. He admits that he is hooked on her body and is glued to her waist. The lyrics towards the end suggest that the singer has successfully wooed his love interest and that they are together. The lines “girls lookin’ at me like I got a halo, I don't do second dates, that's just how the game go” suggests that he is now in demand and doesn’t need to go through the process of wooing someone else.

Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
I'm so perplexed
With just one breath, I'm locked in
Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
I'm so perplexed
On that, it's almost shocking
I know, I know you know you're scared
Your heart, your mind, your soul, your body
They won't, they won't, they won't be careful
But I guess that you don't know me
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too...
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no
Oh man, oh man
I am not really known for ever being speechless
But now, but now somehow
My words roll off my tongue right onto your lips, oh
I'm keeping cool while you keep smiling
Saying all the things I'm thinking
Oh man, oh man
I am like you so I want proof of what you're feeling
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too...
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too... close
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no
Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no
