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. [3] 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." [4]
"Jealous" is a pop and R&B song. [5] Jonas told Billboard magazine that the song has a "Lionel Richie vibe." [6] [7]
Jonas played a 30-second preview of "Jealous" during an interview on the nationally syndicated radio program On Air with Ryan Seacrest on September 4, 2014.

The song is written in a key of D Major and Jonas' vocals span A3 to D5 (in scientific pitch notation)
Talking about "Jealous"' music video, Jonas said: "The video is basically a trip into the mind of Nick Jonas by way of stream of consciousness. So the director, Peter, he said 'I think if you asked someone right now, 'Who is Nick Jonas?' I think you'd get a million different answers. After having the chance to get to know you, I feel like none of them would really be right because you are so different than the public perception. So let's get inside your mind because this song is very personal even though it's fun. It's kind of a dance song in a way. But let's dig a little deeper and see what it means to you.' So the video is really layered, like his art. You can see he layers a bunch of different news clippings and articles and says something greater over top of it. The video is the same way. The real message is that jealousy is something we all feel from all different walks of life, whether it's about romance or love or family or whatever it is — insecurities. It touches on all that and also has sort of a fun through line with me and Olivia is actually in the video as well." [10]
On August 24, 2014, it was announced that the music video would be released on September 16 and is directed by Peter Tunney and Ryan Pallotta. [11] [12] Jonas' then-girlfriend, Olivia Culpo, makes a cameo in the video. [13]

Justin Davis of Complex wrote that Tinashe added her own female touch to the bouncy song, giving the other side of the story for Jonas' ode to being protective over his romantic conquests by sympathizing with her own admission of jealousy. The song remains just as catchy as the original, with Jonas' macho verses remaining intact, but the addition of Tinashe gives the song new life. [51]
Radio.com columnist Courtney E. Smith wrote that the Hip-hop's up-and-coming it girl puts an extra sexy spin on the former Jonas Brother's angsty single, adding herself to the chorus and turning the music's Prince factor up to 10. [52]
