The Jonas Brothers Talk New Single “Lovebug”
2-Oct-2008
Written by: Alexandra Perich
The Jonas Brothers have their fan base “Burning Up” for them, and they sure got some little ladies out feeling like they’ve been bitten by the “Lovebug.”
Their latest single, “Lovebug,” is about puppy love, and all the wonderful feelings that come along with it. This song, however, has a slight twist: the boys go acoustic.
The brothers wrote the song while on the road with their friend and fellow Disney superstar, Miley Cyrus. "We wrote it while on the Christmas break of the 'Hannah Montana' tour. So we were in the hotel room and sat down that night and wrote it in about 15 or 20 minutes," Nick explained to MTV.
While no names were mentioned when asked just who the song might be about, Joe said that the lyrics' meaning is really open to the listener's interpretation. "It can mean anything," he said. "But for us, it's throwing any past inhibitions to the wind."
The Jonas Brothers found inspiration for the song from an unlikely source; the movie, Juno. "The vision for the song actually came from some different inspirations," Nick said to MTV. "But 'Juno' was one of our favorite movies at the time, and the soundtrack is always kind of odd, so we decided to put those elements in the song, and it came very nicely."
The Juno soundtrack might have helped shape the song, but Nick also had another major songwriting influence, "I think there are a lot of things we draw from, but that song in particular is a Beatles influence."
The Jonas Brothers hope to release the video for “Lovebug” on October 15. According to MTV.com, the video is a period-piece love story inspired by the movie, The Notebook.
"We have a dream of what it can be," Kevin said of the videos. "It's about capturing that idea. We want to make sure it's always right."
"Really, just falling in love with somebody," Nick added. "And [how] if they break your heart — or however it ends — you think, 'That's it forever,' until the lovebug gets you [again]."
