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.
If I Fall
Nick Jonas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came in like a cannonball
And opened up the door
The one I thought was closed for good
You touched my soul
Didn't want to lose control
Like no one did before
Now I can't let you go, oh
I remember talkin' on the first night
Chilled me to the bone 'cause I realized
Everything before was a waste of time
And this could be forever, this could be forever
If it's this life or the next one
Promise that I'm always gonna find ya
If it ain't you, it ain't no one
Yeah, this could be forever, this could be forever, so
If I fall again
It'd be the last time
The last time that I'm falling
The last time that I'm falling
Oh, oh
It's just the beginning
But it's the last time
The last time that I'm falling
The last time that I'm falling
'Til I fall again for you
Yeah, yeah
Fall again for you
Mm-mm
Heart on fire
You pulled me from the cynical
And put my faith in you
That ain't something that I do
Don't know why
It took so long to find this place
A love I never knew
Where there's only room for two
Yeah
I remember talkin' on the first night
Chilled me to the bone 'cause I realized
Everything before was a waste of time
And this could be forever, this could be forever
If it's this life or the next one
Promise that I'm always gonna find ya
If it ain't you, it ain't no one
Yeah, this could be forever this could be forever, so

It's just the beginning
But it's the last time
The last time that I'm falling
The last time that I'm falling
'Til I fall again for you
'Til I fall again forever
'Til I find you and remember
Never fall for someone new
Mm
And if time and space are endless
You and I will never end this
Every life I'm living with you, yeah

The lyrics in "If I Fall" by Nick Jonas speak to the idea of falling in love and the vulnerability that comes with it. The opening of the song suggests that the person's love interest is the reason they have opened up emotionally. The line "you touched my soul" is particularly poignant as it shows the extent to which the person's object of affection has affected them. The idea that falling for this person was not something that they planned for is conveyed by the line "didn't want to lose control, like no one did before." The idea here is that the person has found themselves feeling things they never have before and that this new feeling is almost overwhelming.
The lyrics of the chorus present a more hopeful perspective, with the person hoping that their newfound love could be forever. They talk about how this love could transcend time and that even if it takes a lifetime or more, they promise to find this person. The sentiment is beautiful, with the idea of committing to someone to the point that they will always be looking for them.
The final verse of the song speaks to the idea that love can be enduring, even in the afterlife. The person talks about finding their love even in different incarnations of their lives. The chorus repeats, highlighting the idea that the person's love is eternal.
Overall, the lyrics of "If I Fall" speak to the idea that love can be all-consuming, and while it brings vulnerability, it can also be enduring and eternal.

This song has such an awesome 80's vibe. It reminds me of warm summer nights, driving with the top down, falling in love for the first time, feeling like you'll be young forever.
