“Lovebug” by Jonas Brothers
Jonas Brothers’ “Lovebug” sees the narrator fantasizing about his new found romance despite losing the hope to love again. The reason for the lost hope is probably due to a bad breakup, but throughout the song, the singer admires his potential lover, while he remains shocked at how he is feeling. Apparently the past relationship may have left him so damaged that he thought he may not fall in love again. He uses the expression “lovebug” to describe his falling in love with this new girl.
The Brothers speaking to MTV about the song explained that the song was written in a hotel room in about 15 or 20 minutes, while they were on the Christmas break of the Hannah Montana tour. Nick Jonas went on to explain that the song is based on falling in love and how you think you may not love another when your heart gets broken until the ‘lovebug’ gets you again. Joe Jonas added that the song could mean a lot of things, but to them, it is mainly about overcoming inhibitions.
