The Jonas Brothers are marking 20 years since their 2005 debut album, It's About Time, having defied expectations of fading away like other Disney-era teen acts. Unlike peers who rebranded with a more provocative image, Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas stuck to their wholesome, feelgood pop sound while maturing lyrically, and are now arguably at their commercial peak, filling stadiums two decades on.

The band evolved from danger-free pop-punk into broader pop, breaking through with 2008's Burnin' Up before scoring three consecutive US number one albums and becoming the youngest act to appear on Rolling Stone's cover. A six-year hiatus followed internal "creative differences", but they reunited in 2019 with the US number one single Sucker, and last year sold out New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. Collaborators including podcast host Nate Sloan and debut-album co-producer Michael Mangini credit their longevity to genuine dedication to songwriting and a willingness to mature their subject matter, from adolescent romance to fatherhood, rather than clinging to their teenage image.
