The first single from Nick Jonas' second solo album, "Close" finds him coming to terms with his split from Olivia Culpo - Jonas and the 2012 Miss Universe winner parted in the summer of 2015, and he later took up with the actress Kate Hudson. Jonas said the song is about when you "can't open up and be vulnerable with someone."
His breakup with Culpo changed how Jonas approached the album. He tweeted: "I thought I knew what it would be about… Then I had a breakup. It then became very clear what this thing would be about… And that I would need to dig really deep… S--t is too real sometimes… Reliving some of these real life experiences through this music is hard."
This song is a duet with the Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo. The pair have a steamy dialogue where Jonas first opens up about wanting to get intimate in this relationship: I want you, babe Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space 'Cause space is just a word made up By someone who's afraid to get too close Tove Lo is buying it: I'm keeping cool while you keep smiling Saying all the things I'm thinking They agree: It's time to get close and move this thing forward.
