Globally celebrated, multi-platinum trio Jonas Brothers recruited rapidly rising, multi-platinum country superstar Bailey Zimmerman for their new single entitled “Strong Enough” out now.

On the collaboration, Jonas Brothers say, “We’re so excited to team up with Bailey for ‘Strong Enough’! He’s such a talented artist who’s had an amazing year, so it’s been a blast collaborating with him.”

Bailey Zimmerman chimes in, saying, “I’ve been a fan of the Jonas Brothers for as long as I can remember. I literally grew up with them! It’s been incredible to get to know Joe, Nick, and Kevin, and we’ve already shared some memories I’ll never forget. The fact that they would ask me to be on a song still blows my mind. I hope y’all like it as much as I do!”

On the track, a plucky guitar riff gives way to handclaps and breezy acoustic strumming, as Jonas Brothers alternate verses and harmonize with Zimmerman. The momentum builds towards a stadium-ready refrain—resulting in a collaboration that both Jonas Brothers fans and Bailey Zimmerman fans didn’t know they needed, as together they sing, “So light me up, twist me something good, make it strong enough, last long enough.”

Following the release of The Album this past spring, Jonas Brothers notably kicked off their global headline run dubbed The Tour on August 12th and 13th with two sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium, performing for over 85,000 fans. The Tour sees the band performing five albums each night for fans across the globe throughout the rest of 2023 and over the course of 2024. Jonas Brothers will visit 90 arenas and stadiums worldwide and perform for the first time in various countries like Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Northern Ireland, Hamburg, Lyon, Munich, and Norway—resulting in the biggest and most extensive tour of their career thus far. The band has a homecoming show at the Prudential Center in Newark on Wednesday, December 6 and a show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on Saturday, December 9, 2023.

Produced by Live Nation, The Tour will continue to travel across North America this fall to legendary venues before continuing throughout the globe to Australia, New Zealand, and Europe in 2024. See the remaining list of tour dates below. Tickets are available now at jonasbrothers.com.

Jonas Brothers recently graced the cover of American Songwriter’s November/December issue to discuss the creation process behind The Album—read the story HERE.

Standing out as one of the most successful groups of the 21st century, Jonas Brothers—Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas—have sold north of 20 million albums and counting, garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations, earned 26 Billboard Hot 100 hits, logged three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200, and generated billions of streams. Among many accolades, they’ve recently claimed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2019, they notably ignited the comeback of the decade with their Platinum-Certified Republic Records debut, Happiness Begins. It yielded the history-making, 5x-Platinum smash “Sucker,” which minted them as “the first group in the 21st century to debut at #1 on the Hot 100,” exploded as the “longest running #1 Pop Airplay Single of 2019,” and received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” Bowing at #1 on the Billboard 200, Happiness Begins impressively scored the “biggest sales week of 2019 at time of release” and housed the Double-Platinum “Only Human” and Platinum “Cool.” The band supported the album with the worldwide “Happiness Begins Tour”—selling over 1.2 million tickets—and the Amazon Original documentaries Chasing Happiness and Happiness Continues.

Along the way, the members simultaneously juggled prolific solo careers extending into television, film, and successful business ventures. In 2023, Jonas Brothers once again proved they are a constant force, embarking on a new era with the release of The Album, via Republic Records. The Album was produced by Jon Bellion and features hit singles “Waffle House” and “Wings.” In support of the new album and this new era for Jonas Brothers, they kicked off “The Tour” with two sold-out shows at New York’s iconic Yankee Stadium on August 12th and 13th. “The Tour” includes stadium and arena dates around the globe through 2024, resulting in the band’s biggest and most extensive tour to date.

Bailey Zimmerman has surged to the forefront of 21st century country music with the release of Religiously. The Album., arriving as not only the biggest all-genre streaming debut since 2021, but also the biggest streaming country debut of all time. Deriving its name from his third consecutive No. 1 country radio single, “Religiously,” the LP entered at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and No. 7 on their all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The project from “the brightest new star in mainstream country music” (The New York Times) also features the multi-Platinum, No. 1 debut single, “Fall In Love,” as well as the multi-Platinum hit, “Rock And A Hard Place,” which spent a whopping six consecutive weeks at the top of Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart. Both tracks propelled the breakout superstar to close out 2022 as the year’s only country artist to receive two Platinum certifications from the RIAA and prompted Billboard to name him as their No. 2 Top New Country Artist and No. 4 Top New Artist Overall.

The ACM Awards, CMT Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards nominee has ignited television audiences across the country with show-stopping performances on Good Morning AmericaTodayDick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ EveJimmy Kimmel LIVE!, and the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards. In addition to inciting critical praise from ForbesRolling StoneLos Angeles TimesAmerican Songwriter, and more, he was named Billboard’s 2023 Country Rookie of the Year and was highlighted in Variety’s 2023 Young Hollywood Impact Report. With more than 3 billion streams to date, he is out on the road now with Morgan Wallen as part of his monumental 2023 One Night At A Time Tour. In 2024, Zimmerman will provide direct support to Wallen, and embark on his sold out global headline Religiously. The Tour.
