We've been through just about everything a band can go through We've started as teenagers who had an idea What with no idea what we were doing fell in love with music together and held on during the kind of moments that could have Sent us completely different directions and in 2013 They did send us in a different direction the breakup was painful, but honestly it was absolutely necessary We had to step away from being the Jonas Brothers to figure out who we were as individuals as men and as a family But looking back now that break wasn't the end of the story. It was the bridge to an even better one When we found our way back in 2019 something clicked the music felt different more honest the connection felt different more honest That's because we were different We've become grown men who realize that The thing that makes us strongest is doing this together And the reason we're able to stand here stronger than ever is because of the people who lift us up every single day Priyanka, thank you for bringing me so much light joy and perspective into my life You inspire me challenge me and support me in ways and make me better as an artist father and a man And I'm endlessly grateful to walk through this life with you and Happy Anniversary and Of course to Danielle Thank you for being my constant my best friends the person who has been with me through every chapter on this wild ride Sadly can't be here today kids had to go to school so priorities Your strength your patience and your love For our family is the reason that I can stand on a stage like this and of course to my girls Alina Valentina Can't wait to bring you to LA to show you this and be so proud of it and to our children our little birds You're the reason we see the future with so much hope and joy You've changed the way we move through the world the way we dream.
