More about this title

About the Artist: Jonas Brothers

The Jonas Brothers emerged as one of the defining pop acts of the 2000s, building a massive following through a combination of infectious melodies, polished production, and genuine musicianship. Their catalog spans pop-rock anthems and introspective ballads, all written with the kind of structural clarity and harmonic sophistication that translates remarkably well to choral settings.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the song's contemporary pop energy while respecting what makes it singable for mixed voices. The voicing sits comfortably across all four parts, and the harmonic color stays vibrant without demanding excessive range or technical acrobatics from your singers.

What to expect

Confident and driven, with an undercurrent of earnest vulnerability. The harmonic language is modern and accessible, yet never feels dumbed down; there's a real song here, not just a jingle.

Who it's for

High school and early college choirs looking to program contemporary music without sacrificing musical substance. The piece works equally well for concert settings and pop or musical theatre focused ensembles that want their pop repertoire to have legitimate pedagogical weight.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody line across sections; this song lives or dies by forward momentum, so keep tenors and sopranos locked in on the lead vocal line while altos and basses support the harmonic foundation.
  • Shape the dynamics around the lyrical content rather than hitting every peak at full volume; the emotional arc builds gradually, and restraint in the verses pays dividends when the chorus hits.
  • If using the optional accompaniment, resist the urge to let it dominate; your choir's blend and precision matter far more than the track's production value.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary pop arrangements to create a full pop themed concert, or use it as the accessible opener in a mixed repertoire program where you want to immediately connect with your audience. The 14 pages move quickly in rehearsal and performance, making it ideal for filling a specific slot without consuming excessive preparation time.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing contemporary pop idioms with authentic phrasing and rhythmic precision
  • Balancing individual voice parts within a four part blend
  • Interpreting modern harmonic progressions and chord changes
  • Maintaining ensemble cohesion at moderate to fast tempos
  • Connecting lyrical meaning to dynamic and expressive choices
