Last year Nick Jonas released his third solo album Last Year Was Complicated, and the pop star hit the road with Demi Lovato on tour shortly afterwards. But it was during that tour that Nick created his latest single "Remember I Told You," which features his buddy Mike Posner and UK singer/songwriter Anne-Marie (Clean Bandit's "Rockabye Baby").
"Remember I Told You" is a simplistic R&B/dance song, as Nick, Anne-Marie, and Posner take turns throughout the track's verses. Nick sings, "Remember I told you, I need you/All of the words that I'm saying/Are just a fancy way of saying I care." The song shows an evolution in sound for Nick, and even gives off some Justin Timberlake vibes in the chorus.
Nick tells iHeartRadio of writing his new single, "This is a song I wrote last year while on tour with Demi Lovato. I called my buddy Mike Posner, who was supporting the tour. He came in, we finished the song up together, and almost a year later, it's out. I'm so thrilled."
The song, in Nick's own words, is about a subject that is relatable to most people. "To me, this song is about needing to be heard, and just trying to level with somebody that really means something to you. I think it's something that a lot of people can relate to," Nick says.
He adds, "It also feels like it could be a good summer song."
