The Jonas Brothers have blessed us with new music during COVID-19 quarantine and shared with Ryan Seacrest via Zoom on-air on Friday, May 15, their forthcoming sixth studio album might drop sooner than they thought. Plus, Joe Jonas shared why wife Sophie Turner had to buzz his hair and Kevin Jonas gave us an update on managing homeschooling!

The JoBros dropped two major songs, "X" featuring Karol G, and "5 More Minutes," which they debuted during their 2020 Grammys performance, on Friday. The songs were released as a bundle dubbed "XV."

“5 More Minutes' was a song we wrote almost a year and a half ago,” Nick shared with Seacrest via Zoom. “Before the tour started, we went on a writing retreat with some of our song writing friends and it was part-play and part-work and from that there was a bunch of songs we came out with that we loved that really set the template for what the next record was gong to be so as a way to tease that, when we were putting the Grammy performance together, we said ‘Why not play an unreleased track and kind of do it as a little Easter egg?’” Nick added. “It just felt like the right moment to give everyone at home something to listen to and … we figured why not put that one out as well as ‘X.’”

“X” features Latin pop star Karol G and is a flirtatious track to get us through quarantine. “She’s incredible,” Nick shared of Karol G. “It’s got a fun bilingual twist to it and really just feels like a nice sort of song to dance to.”

Nick added the foursome were planning on releasing a new music video with the track but had to switch gears amid the global pandemic and social distancing guidelines.
