Demi Lovato Spills How ‘Healing’ Jonas Brothers Reunion Happened

When Joe asked me and I said yes, I was like, I'm gonna have to relearn this. Because I don't remember the last time that I sang this. And like, I definitely don't remember the words. So and once I listened to it a few times, it all came back to me. Demi Lovato is spilling the tea on her iconic reunion with the Jonas Brothers. On Sunday, August 10, the singer made a surprise appearance joining Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas on stage to kick off their Jonas 20 Greetings From Your Hometown tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The former Disney Channel star performed alongside the trio, belting out songs from their hit 2008 movie Camp Rock, including This Is Me and Wouldn't Change a Thing from the movie's sequel. On Monday, Demi joined the Chicks in the Office podcast to share all the details about the reunion, telling co-hosts Rhea and Fran how she was approached about the idea by Joe just days earlier. How did it all come to be? Honestly, Joe just asked me like last week was like, hey, what are you doing next weekend or on the 10th? We would love to have you come and perform This Is Me and Wouldn't Change a Thing. You know, you've been like a huge part of our journey and and vice versa. So he was like, this, this show is really important to us and we would love to have you there. And the fast singer noted that it was a no brainer to get on board and revealed that she even had to relearn the song lyrics, as it had been around a decade since she last performed them. When Joe initially asked you, did it take a lot of thought before you said yes? Or was it kind of an instant? No, it was an instant like, let's do this. Yeah, because like, in this new era of mine to like, I'm going back to my like, I'm throwing it back to like the means and like some of the things I've been posting have been like really nostalgic. And so this just fit in with everything that I've been doing. And on top of that, it's such a meaningful song to me. This is me is, you know, my first big song that I've ever had. And so getting to perform that with them for the first time in God knows how many years was just so full circle and so special. And you know, it was it was great to see them. That's what really like, I did have an out of body moment where I was like, it's just, it was so meaningful for you guys. But for us to, to watch you in this new era, we're like, she is thriving. And to watch you get to come out and sing This is me was like, such a crazy I like have chills thinking about it again. It was like, it was so amazing, because you people laugh, it's camp rock, it's it's, but it means so much to our generation. And it's not just like a kid's movie, it means a lot to us. And that song is so powerful lyrically. And I you know, that way cure, you get to say those words again on stage. I was like, oh, I'm gonna cry again. No, I don't like and then he's saying wouldn't change a thing, which is my personal favorite. I like when he was with Joe was like, we have one more. I was like, Oh my god, is it gonna be on the like, for a second? I'll actually throw myself off the upper deck. Wouldn't change a thing. I fell over. And I'm like, Oh, it was just perfect. It was insane, like fully sobbing. And I'm like, Do I look insane right now? But everyone around me was doing the same thing. Like everyone's crying. And by the way, you sounded better than ever. Oh, thank you. Unbelievable. The mic was on. Yes, it was on. It was what was the last time you sang that song on? So when Joe asked me and I said yes, I was like, I'm gonna have to relearn this. I don't remember the last time that I sang this and like, I definitely don't remember the words. So and once I listened to it a few times, it all came back to me. But um, yeah, the last time I performed this is me and wouldn't change a thing may have been the camp rock to tour, which was 2010. Yeah. And then this is me. I think Joe and I probably performed it in like 2015. Yeah. But um, it's been a long, long time when you guys were singing each other's parts while the other person was singing. I was like, Oh my god, they still know it. I was like, Well, you still got it. Yeah. Oh my gosh, their voices together. It sounds amazing. Demi also detailed how the experience was healing for them all and explained how she and the trio reconnected before the show. It was so nice. And like I said, it was so healing for me too. You know, we've been through so much together, all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I. And it was really, really great to like spend time with them. It was really cool. They came to my room, all three of them and like, spent time getting to know my husband and which was really meaningful to me. And they just, you know, thanked me profusely for flying across the country to perform with them. And it was just so thoughtful. I felt so appreciated. And it was really healing for us. And I loved it. You know, every second of it was so great. Yeah, that is so amazing. And honestly, thank you to you and both the Jonas Brothers for allowing all of us to be a part of such a special moment. Because like you said, I'm sure it is healing for both of you and having that time off stage to talk in your room with your husband. The 32 year old surprise performance not only delighted the concert crowd, but social media users also expressed such excitement seeing the reunion. After the show, Demi and Joe uploaded TikToks together of themselves backstage, including lip syncing to Wouldn't Change a Thing. And to fellow Disney Channel star Debbie Ryan's viral sound on the app. My one thing was I went into the Disney Channel building and I sat down with the president of Disney Channel and I said, I want to make history. And that's what this is. For the history books at Joe Jonas, Demi captioned the video. The singer additionally thanked the Jonas Brothers for having her in another post and also uploaded an Instagram featuring stills from her performance alongside the caption, Hey Siri, play This Is Me by Mitchie Torres, referring to her Camp Rock character.
