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 ↴
That I never got a chance to hit
A chance to hit
But in my mind
Baby I can taste your lips
Taste your lips
I was so foolish on some stupid shit
Knowing that you left messes with my head
Shadows of you haunt me now
So I'll never get over
Never get over not getting under you
Getting under you
No I'll never get over
Never get over not getting under you
Getting under you
Poured a glass
But I never got to take a sip
Take a sip
I've been around the world
But baby you're my only fix
My only fix
I was so foolish on some stupid shit
Should have never let you go no, no
Knowing that you left messes with my head
Shadows of you haunt me now
So I'll never get over
Never get over not getting under you
Getting under you
No I'll never get over
Never get over not getting under you
Getting under you
Had a heart attack
Full speed, swerve off track
Can't breathe, where you at where you at where you at?
Ain't no way to take you back
I've become heart attack
Everywhere I see your face
And it kills me everyday
So I'll never get over
Never get over not getting under you
Getting under you
No I'll never get over
Never get over not getting under you
Getting under you
So I'll never get over
Never get over not getting under you
Getting under you
No I'll never get over
Never get over not getting under you
Getting under you
The song "Under You" by Nick Jonas is about a past love that the singer regrets losing. The lyrics describe the regret and longing he feels for the person he let go, represented by the metaphors of a cigarette he never got to hit and a glass he never got to sip. He recognizes his own foolishness for letting this person go and the lasting impact it has had on him, as he is haunted by shadows of their memory. The chorus repeats the idea that he will never get over not being with this person, and that being "under" them (presumably in a sexual context) is something he will always lament never experiencing.
The bridge of the song adds a more urgent tone, as the singer describes feeling like he has had a heart attack and is struggling to breathe. He still sees the person he lost everywhere and it continues to emotionally affect him. The use of heart attack as a metaphor adds to the intensity of the lyrics, emphasizing the physical pain he feels in his chest from missing this person.
Overall, the song effectively conveys the regret and longing that comes with losing someone you care about. The use of metaphors adds depth to the emotions being expressed, and the urgency in the bridge adds to the intensity of the overall message.

Cigarette
I never got a chance to experience something with you
That I never got a chance to hit
I never got the opportunity to hit the cigarette
A chance to hit
The opportunity to experience something with you
But in my mind
My thoughts are consumed by you
Baby I can taste your lips
I am longing for your touch and affection
I was so foolish on some stupid shit
I made mistakes that caused us to break up
Should have never let you go, no
I regret letting you leave my life
Knowing that you left messes with my head
My thoughts are constantly plagued by the fact that you left me
Shadows of you haunt me now
Thoughts and memories of you continue to affect me
So I'll never get over
I won't be able to move on from you
Never get over not getting under you
I won't be able to move on without experiencing intimacy with you
Poured a glass
I prepared a drink
But I never got to take a sip
I didn't get the chance to drink it
I've been around the world
I have traveled to different places and met different people
But baby you're my only fix
You're the only one who can fill the void in my heart
Had a heart attack
I experienced emotional pain due to our separation
Full speed, swerve off track
My life was going well, but the separation caused me to go off track
Can't breathe, where you at where you at where you at?
I am struggling to cope without you, where are you?
Ain't no way to take you back
I can't undo the past and bring you back into my life
I've become heart attack
The emotional pain has affected me deeply
Everywhere I see your face
Thoughts and memories of you are present everywhere I go
And it kills me everyday
The pain of being without you is unbearable
So I'll never get over
I won't be able to move on from you
Never get over not getting under you
I won't be able to move on without experiencing intimacy with you
