Time to embrace your inner teenager once again because the Jonas Brothers are back. As a band I mean.
Anyway, after splitting up back in 2013 in order to dabble in other ventures, such as throwing lavish weddings and weird solo music projects, the trio have confirmed recent reunion rumours with a beautiful lo-fi 2019 rendition of their viral 2008 “tables have turned” video.

It also seems like the Jonas Brothers are wasting no time with their big return as the trio promptly unveiled a very colourful teaser cover of their upcoming new single, “Sucker”.
Whereas pre-2013 Jonas Brothers were your typical squeaky-clean boy band, 2019 Jonas Bros have ditched the long hair and purity rings and look like they’re just living their best life.

You also won’t have to wait too long to hear “Sucker” either because the lads quickly followed up that wonderful cover with a snippet from the single’s music video along with the announcement that it will be dropping at midnight (ET), which is around 4pm on Friday for us (AEDT).
It’s almost like they saw the state of pop music and were like “we gotta do something about this and fast”.
As for what the tune sounds like, the 10-second clip doesn’t reveal much but it sounds like quite the catchy upbeat bop that we need these days. Did I suddenly become a fan? Dear god, I think so.
More to come… ?

And just to reassure fans that their reunion is legit and not some cash grab or a one-off, the trio are also booked in for a sesh of Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. That’s how you know when an artist is serious about what they’re doing.
We’ve come a long way since 2013 and who knows if the Jonas Brothers can recapture that initial run of success of yesteryear. They may reach the stratospheric heights once again and stand alongside contemporaries like Ariana Grande like it was 2012 or they may fizzle and go out with a whimper. The point is we don’t know how all this will go.
But look, we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. Let’s just enjoy the fact that the gang are back together and let our inner 14-year-old go crazy for a little bit.
