• Nick Jonas said this song was inspired by his training to be a fighter for DirecTV's 'Kingdom'. He said:
"I was out with my girlfriend (Olivia Culpo) the night before I wrote this song… and I got heated. I was doing all this
fighting training for this show I just finished up, so I was ready to go. I contained myself... and
I came in the next day to the studio and wrote this song."
• "Basically the whole concept is about jealousy. It's basically saying this girl is so f*cing beautiful
that you just get jealous and you can't help it and I think it's something a lot of guys can relate to
but are afraid to say."

Music video:
"Jealous" on YouTube
The video was released September 16th, 2014 and shot by Peter Tunney.
Talking about the video Nick said: "The video is basically a trip into the mind of Nick Jonas by way of
stream of consciousness. So the director, Peter, he said 'I think if you asked someone right now,
'Who is Nick Jonas?' I think you’d get a million different answers. After having the chance to get to know you,
I feel like none of them would really be right because you are so different than the public perception.
So let’s get inside your mind because this song is very personal even though it’s fun.
It’s kind of a dance song in a way. But let’s dig a little deeper and see what it means to you.'
So the video is really layered, like his art. You can see he layers a bunch of different news clippings
and articles and says something greater over top of it. The video is the same way. The real message is that
jealousy is something we all feel from all different walks of life, whether it’s about romance or love or
family or whatever it is - insecurities. It touches on all that and also has sort of a fun through line
with me and Olivia is actually in the video as well"
