Jonas Brothers Are Wistful And Ready For Snow On 'I Need You Christmas'

It's not quite Halloween, nevertheless the Jonas Brothers are already all set up for Christmas.


On "I Need You Christmas," a loungy and longing new cut from Kevin, Joe, and Nick, it's all about the power of the holiday and why it could lift anyone out of the doldrums of loneliness. It's also about missing childhood and realizing that at the end of a long, tiring year full of coldness and isolation, perhaps the one thing that might help is to collect around the tree. How nice.


Nick sings the opening half, evoking scenes of "angels on treetops and angels in the snow," pining for them amid feeling lonely and blue. By the time Joe takes over halfway through this "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"-type ode, he's singing of carolers and mistletoes, all of the things you must specifically say in categorize for your melody to count as a Christmas jam. That nostalgia is at the center of the song's message, because the musical group revealed on social media.


"For us this song stirs up memories of childhood snowball fights & finding the nearest hill to sled," the group's Twitter stated ahead of the drop. "It brings us back to spending time with family member setting up the Christmas tree. Hopefully it may bring you guys the same feelings of warmth & happiness that creating it brought us."


The memories are aplenty on social media — Kevin, Joe, and Nick in front of the Christmas tree clutching plush animals and posing in a sleigh, the bro quad (Frankie included!) As adults rocking their best steely faces in front of a glimmering tree, and the complete extended family member gathering at a twinkly round dining table. A fried goose for everyone!


"With having such a crazy year, we all really need something to look forward to," the group's Twitter read. "The Holidays is a time that brings us with each other and is something that brings us joy in the darkest of times."


The JoBros are far from the initial pop stars to start mining the yuletide cheer well before the season actually starts. Carly Rae Jepsen's latest, "It's Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries," maybe the most realistic representation of a December family member gathering ever devoted to tape, is out today (October 30), also. Carrie Underwood's Christmas album My Gift dropped three days right after September's autumnal equinox, while Dolly Parton released her latest earlier this month.


also it gets better: Today sees at least four new holiday collections dropping: JoJo's December Baby; Meghan Trainor's A Very Trainor Christmas; A Tori Kelly Christmas from, yep, Tori Kelly; and It's Christmas All Over, from the Goo Goo Dolls. There's also, needless to say, the inevitable return of Mariah Carey — and also mystery visitors "AG" and "JH" — as teased by her Christmas tree emoji tweet earlier in October.


Up until then, though, you've got "I Need You Christmas" to keep you warm. Check out the rosy-cheeked goodness above.
