“We lost touch with what we wanted to say, because we were trying so hard to say something different from what we said in the past, musically and creatively,” he said. “We understood that our level of success and fame had reached a point, where our musicianship and writing and performing abilities needed time to grow and catch up to it.”
He added, “It really took the last six, seven years to figure out who we were as people and what kind of music we wanted to make.”

The brothers’ decision to reunite as the Jonas Brothers once more came only after an “intervention” in Australia, which allowed them to dive into deep-seated issues that stemmed from, and caused, their breakup.
With the band back together, the brothers agreed that this time around, they’d keep it light.
“The choice to do this wasn’t out of need, it was more, ‘This is something we really want to do together,’” Kevin, 31, toldPAPER, with Nick adding that the revamped JoBros are “all about having fun.”
Fans will get to see those formative conversations between the brothers in theupcoming documentaryChasing Happiness, which will debut on Amazon Prime on June 4.
As for what’s next, Nick promised thatHappiness Begins’ sound will “stay authentic” to who the Jonas Brothers are, while still incorporating trends like trap beats and “one yeehaw moment.”
The album’s lead single, “Sucker,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts upon its release in March, marking the band’s first No. 1 hit.
They’ve since sung the song everywhere fromSaturday Night Liveto the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.
The brothers will alsoperform on the premiere episodeof the rebooted tween sketch comedy seriesAll That, which debuts on Nickelodeon June 15.
