Jealous?
"Jealous" is a song performed by American recording artist Nick Jonas for his eponymous second studio album. It was released on September 8, 2014, by Island Records as the second single from the record. It was written by Jonas, Simon Wilcox, Tarin Chana and Nolan Lambroza; production was helmed by the latter.
"Jealous" has peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100, consequently becoming Jonas's highest charting single in the United States to date. The single has also peaked at No. 1 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart. "Jealous" has also peaked at No. 2 on US Billboard Mainstream Top 40 for five weeks, during the six week reign of "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift and also at No. 10 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. "Jealous" was also successful in Australia and the United Kingdom reaching number fifteen on the ARIA Charts and number two on the UK Singles Chart.
In an interview with E! News August 2014, Jonas confirmed that "Jealous" would be the second single of his upcoming album. He revealed the song was about the feeling of threat men experience when another man looks at or interacts with their girlfriend. In a later interview with Just Jared, Jonas explained:
"It's just that thing of puffing your chest up every once in a while...You feel like you're ready to go." Jonas believes his feelings were elated filming the TV series 'Kingdom', stating, "At the time I wrote and recorded it, I was in the middle of all the training for 'Kingdom,' so I was really sort of hyped up on testosterone."
"Jealous" is written in the key of D major, and the tempo moves at 92 beats per minute over a moderate beat. Jonas' vocal range in the song spans from the lower note of G3 to the higher note of D5. Jonas told Billboard magazine that the song has a "Lionel Richie vibe."

Lyrics
I don't like the way he's looking at you
I'm starting to think you want him too
Am I crazy, have I lost ya?
Even though I know you love me, can't help it
[Chorus:]
I turn my chin, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting ready to face you
Can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
I wish you didn't have to post it
I wish you'd save a little bit just for me
Protective or possessive, yeah
Call it passive or aggressive
[Chorus:]
I turn my chin, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting ready to face you
Can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
You're the only one invited
I said there's no one else for you
'Cause you know I get excited, yeah
When you get jealous too
[Chorus:]
I turn my chin, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm turning ready to face you
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
Oh (that's why)
I still get jealous
Oh (that's why)
I still get jealous
