Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Jealous. By Songfacts®.

Speaking with Ryan Seacrest, Nick Jonas said this song was inspired by his training to be a fighter for DirecTV's Kingdom, which put him in an aggressive mood when other guys started looking at his girlfriend, Olivia Culpo. "I was out with my girlfriend the night before I wrote this song… and I got heated," he revealed. "I was doing all this fighting training for this show I just finished up, so I was ready to go. [But] I contained myself… and I came in the next day to the studio and wrote this song."

Jonas explained the song's meaning to MTV News: "Basically the whole concept is about jealousy," he said. "It's basically saying this girl is so f--king beautiful that you just get jealous and you can't help it and I think it's something a lot of guys can relate to but are afraid to say."

Nick's Miss Universe 2012 girlfriend, Olivia Culpo, has a musical background of her own. A cellist, she has participated in the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, RI Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble, Bay View Orchestra, Rhode Island All-State Orchestra, and Boston Youth Symphony.
