Background

On March 24, 2016, Jonas announced the song as part of the track list of his new album. [2] On April 8, 2016, Nick Jonas released "Champagne Problems" as the first promotional single of the record. A short teaser was released by him online on April 7. In an interview he said that the song "is about sharing a bottle of champagne with my now ex as we were breaking up to kind of close that chapter. It was sad and slightly sweet at the same time. It was a range of emotions and feelings and I think this song, although it sounds like a party song, actually has some of the deepest lyrics on the record". [3] [4]

Critical reception

Caroline Menyes of Music Times said that the song was a little bit more of a dance-friendly track. Featuring Jonas' signature smooth falsetto and club-friendly beats, this song is begging to be played on Friday nights. [5] Idolator's Carl Williott said that with its electro-disco-funk breakdown at the chorus and a surprising trap&B bridge, there are a lot of moving parts but they all work in service of a breathless party hook. [6]

Music video

The music video, directed by Colin Tilley was released on November 7, 2016. The video shows Jonas being surrounded by many women in a night club before he parts ways with his girlfriend. [7]
