The Jonas Brothers’ ‘A Little Bit Longer’ Turns Ten This Year

2008 was an incredible year for music. Kanye West brought us hits like “Love Lockdown” and "Heartless" from 808s & Heartbreak, Britney Spears took us to the Circus, and the Jonas Brothers didn't make fans wait A Little Bit Longer. The album, released on August 12, 2008, soared to the top of the charts within weeks. The title track, written by Nick Jonas, was inspired by his struggles with Type 1 diabetes. It's an emotional ballad of strength and encouragement, mixed in with thirteen otherwise upbeat tunes.

This week, iHeartRadio is highlighting albums turning ten years old in 2018, and this one holds a special place in our hearts. We've rounded up ten facts about the JoBros' third studio album. So Jonas Brothers fans, read up as you remain hopeful that the reunion rumors are true.

1. Nick wrote "A Little Bit Longer" in twenty minutes.

While filming Camp Rock in Canada, Nick sat in an empty ballroom at a baby grand piano. Twenty minutes later, the title track was complete and he was performing it for others on set.

2. Big Rob's for real.

Beloved security guard Robert Feggans was able to add rapper to his resumé after hopping on a verse in "Burnin' Up." Not only was he in the music video, he also joined the Jonas Brothers onstage. Remember these words to live by, "Big Rob's for real, and that's no lie."

3. The album's fourth single, "Tonight," was deemed "pandemically infectious."

Whether or not "pandemically" is a made up word, USA Today reporter Ken Barnes was spot on with this description.

4. DNCE's manager has a writing credit on "Tonight."

Greg Garbowsky was the Jonas Brothers' bassist before he became DNCE's manager. He's also written for some of their other albums, Nick's solo project, The Veronicas, Babyface, and more.
