Background
"Rose Garden" was the first song written for the album and was partly inspired by a difficult break-up.[3] Jonas wrote/co-wrote all tracks. Jonas cut the album in eight days with producer John Fields, who also played bass.[2] The album has 9 new numbers and a cover of the Jonas Brothers single "Tonight".[4] Nick originally wrote the song World War III for the administration, but instead it was used of the Jonas Brothers album Lines, Vines and Trying Times.[5] He also wrote a song called Oval Office but the songs never appeared on the record because according to Nick the song didn't sound good.[6]
