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.

Nick Jonas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"You can take my love"
Don't give it up for just somebody
That would be too much
Instead of going through the motions
I wanna feel your touch
Give me love that's like an ocean
I wanna feel that rush
It's always a scary thing
When your love's so high, you're bound to fall together
Fall together
Feeling the passion, babe
And when we fight, it's always now or never
Now or never
I just wanna know right now
Do you wanna, you wanna work this out?
And baby, you know it's a long way down
Let me know tonight
I ain't afraid of heights, heights
Maybe, we don't need to get so heated
I'm just tryna talk
Forget about that he-said, she-said
I think we should stop
And get back to basics
Practice some patience
It's too good to waste it
Too good
It's always a scary thing
When your love's so high, you're bound to fall together
Fall together
Feeling the passion, babe
You know that when we fight it's always now or never
Now or never
I just wanna know right now (I just wanna know right now)
Do you wanna, you wanna work this out? (Do you wanna work this out?)
And, baby, you know it's a long way down (you know it's a long way down)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let me know tonight (let me know tonight)
I ain't afraid of heights, heights (ain't afraid of heights, yeah)
Somethin' 'bout the love we found (somethin' 'bout the love we found)
I don't wanna, I don't wanna lose it now (I don't wanna lose it now)
And, baby, you know it's a long way down (you know it's a long way down)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let me know tonight (let me know tonight)
I ain't afraid of heights, heights (I ain't afraid of heights)
It's always a scary thing (ain't afraid of heights)
When your love's so high (ain't afraid of heights)
You're bound to fall together (ain't afraid of heights)
Fall together (ain't afraid of heights)
I'm feeding the passion, babe (ain't afraid of heights)
You know that when we fight (ain't afraid of heights)
It's always now or never (ain't afraid of heights)
No, yeah (ain't afraid of heights)
I just wanna know right now (I just wanna know right now)
Do you wanna, you wanna work this out? (Do you wanna work this out?)

The lyrics to Nick Jonas's song "Heights" explore a tumultuous relationship and the fear of losing it. The opening lines suggest that the singer's partner has already given them their body and love, but the singer is hesitant to give it up to just anybody. The singer wants to feel their partner's touch and experience a love that is like an ocean with a rush of feelings.
The chorus emphasizes the fear of losing the relationship, especially because they love each other so much. They are bound to fall together when love is so high, and when they fight, it is always now or never. The singer wants to work things out but acknowledges that it's a long way down if they fall apart. However, the singer is not afraid of heights, meaning they are willing to take a risk to make the relationship work.
The second verse urges the couple to slow down, forget the drama, and get back to basics. The singer wants to practice patience and not waste something that is too good. The bridge repeats the chorus, emphasizing that the singer does not want to lose the love they have found and asking their partner where they are as they look for them.
Overall, the lyrics to "Heights" convey the challenges of navigating a passionate relationship while trying to balance the fear of losing it. The singer is willing to take a risk and work things out, but they also want to slow down and focus on the relationship's basics.
