About this song
Close is the lead single from Nick Jonas's third studio album and features Swedish pop artist Tove Lo, who was a friend of Nick's and joined the track after he reached out following her performance at Jingle Ball. The song has songwriting credits from Tove Lo, Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, and was produced by the duo Mattman and Robin. A teaser video came out on March 21, and the official video was released on March 25, 2016.
What it's about
The song is presented as a step forward for Nick as he moves beyond his squeaky clean Jonas Brothers image and into adulthood and new artistic territory. Its sultry music video reflects that shift.
