The Jonas Brothers took the world by storm in 2019 with the surprise release of their critically acclaimed and widely successful single "Sucker" following a six-year hiatus. The triple-platinum single debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100, ushering in their third No. 1 album Happiness Begins which went platinum. Highly anticipated follow-up The Album was produced by singer/songwriter Jon Bellion and was inspired by music from the 70s – particularly that of the Bee Gees. "They were a huge influence in our lives, growing up and listening to them with our father," Kevin said. "And obviously, as we grew up being three brothers in a band, we definitely understood similarities." The band discussed working with Bellion to Variety, "In a lot of ways, he has become another brother on this album, given what he brought to the table musically and creatively," Nick explained. "The key to Jon's initial pitch was bringing in influences from the 70s, but with a really modern edge to it. We wanted to find a way to tell stories that are universal but also ultra-personal." Funk-laced lead single "Wings" runs for just under two minutes, but in that time packs in a funky bassline and pockets of timeless harmonies while setting the tone for the rest of The Album.
