00:03i just cut one like two weeks ago and she's like this will probably be next i was like
00:07okay i go with your gut
00:13we are here at the hard rock hotel new york in the rock star suite with kevin jonas this is
00:18my
00:18room now yes this is your room now you could take over any time for real give me the keys
00:25dude i just saw uh before we get into the music man i just saw the video of your wife
00:30literally
00:31exposing you yeah thanks babe bro shred it i feel like she because your brothers i feel like are
00:37shirtless more often than you yeah so i feel like she needs it needed to let the people know like
00:43i guess so uh you know it's her way of showing her support for the new music which i you
00:47know what
00:47babe love it let's go the promo you know i worked really hard this last uh like last six months
00:52with
00:52much rainer anthony and he's like just really put me through it and i've like really tried to like
00:58dedicate some time to it yeah yeah see we were off the road so i was like what better time
01:02than like
01:03reset and i kind of it was good it was i didn't crash out after the tour this time usually
01:07like i
01:07come off the road and i like come off the hill pretty hard like i've uh started working with a
01:13great therapist that's like taught like got me to be like okay let's hyper fix fixate on something
01:17else to get your mind off the fact that you're not doing your day job every day so like it's
01:21good
01:21look at you man did he tweak the um the eating habits as well yeah 100 okay that was the
01:26big
01:26and it wasn't even that we like did anything insane it's just like understanding what you're
01:31actually eating yeah like there's a lot of like for me it was nothing was ever off limits you know
01:36i enjoyed food constantly and always can continue to do so it's just that more so like you're aware
01:41more but i did track everything yeah like literally down to like everything yeah so like i knew where i
01:48needed to be crazy so little things man a beautiful song and i love that it is um extremely personal
01:55but
01:56also feels universal which i feel like are the best songs right thank you um yeah i think that there's
02:01a
02:02lot to it right it's like this the little things that i talk about in the song are more mine
02:07yeah but i
02:08think they speak to everyone which is why i think that like you said it is universal and the songwriters
02:14are incredible and they helped me make craft it perfectly so be real with me at this point how
02:19many solo kevin songs are there nine ten so you're not just like so it wasn't it wasn't expected to
02:30do
02:30more than just one you know the whole project started with me reaching out to jason evigan um and
02:36i reached wrote him a text and was like hey this was like last year january february and i was
02:40like
02:40do you have any songs that you feel like might work for me personally and i didn't hear from him
02:44for like five six months literally no response to the text and then he responds with i think i found
02:48it and sent me changing um and that's when i knew like i heard the song and i felt like
02:53oh my god
02:55i've i this song has been a part of like i know this song like it felt like familiar but
02:59it also felt
03:00like mine it was really weird and i've never felt confident like that going into a vocal session i've
03:04tried a lot um and it just changed everything man and then of course once you have that
03:10that then you have a northern star right and then there's a certain sound and working with
03:14mark schick and j j hart and and you know sarah hudson like there's incredible writers and producers
03:20and they just figured it out yeah yeah was your was your wife the first one you played little
03:26things for um you know i i don't think i remember completely i'm not gonna lie to you i could
03:33just be
03:33like yeah totally of course um but i think i played her my vocal on it first i before i
03:38sent it to
03:39anyone on the team okay i was like all right get in the car we actually got out of we're
03:43in dinner
03:43okay i was so excited to hear it yeah i said okay i told our waiter that we're gonna be
03:47right back
03:48and we actually knew she knew you were she knew and i cut it she knew and i was so
03:52excited to get
03:52the song i actually didn't play her the demo okay vocal on it um i was like i just cut

04:02up in
