As part of their week-long reunion takeover on The Late Late Show with James Corden, the Jonas Brothers went back in time to the mid-2000s to parody their teen selves and recreate their hit, "Year 3000," using several references from the 2019 year.
For the musical number, Nick, Joe and Kevin appeared as their 2006 selves in a garage alongside Corden to sing the newly-improvised track, which followed in the original cut's lead about a time machine, but this version saw them travel to 2019 instead of 3000. Not only does the pop/rock track make mention of marital status, but the four-piece made sure to touch on everything from President Trump, Instagram's striving popularity and the Kardashian's growing empire. "He said I've been to the year 2019/ You won't believe who the new president is/ It's the guy who hosts The Apprentice/ It's pretty weird, super weird/ He showed us the future through the portal and we saw everything. Spiderman, and another one and another one/ Found out there's a mascot called Gritty and he made us terrified," they crooned.
Earlier in the week, the trio admitted that it was their upcoming Amazon documentary that prompted them to realize the "magic" that exists between the three of them as performers. "The documentary tracks our childhood to our time with the band, and it was gonna be a story about where we are today -- and that was separate lives, doing separate things, Joe with DNCE, me with my solo stuff," Nick explained during the interview. "And during that time we started to feel like there was a magic that we felt like we were missing. And the process was basically just, why don’t we give this another shot? We started playing a little music together and realized right away that this is where we’re meant to be in our lives at this moment."
No release date has been announced for the doc, but their comeback track, "Sucker," is certainly making waves. On Monday (March 4), it was announced that the track has debuted on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart at the No. 28 position. This is their first entry back on the chart since 2013.
