Nick Jonas takes a psychedelic ride in "Jealous"

On the day of his 22nd birthday birthday, Nick Jonas decided to throw his own b-day bash inviting fans to join him at the South Street Seaport in New York City to debut the artistic, colorful music video for the latest single, "Jealous," off of his upcoming self-titled album solo album, which is set to drop on November 11. Take a trip through TV Land, Jonas gets truly trippy and pretty deep in his brand new video, which goes in and out of being shot in black and white and color. We're loving this side of him!
Follow his first single "Chains," The upbeat, sexy song was inspired by his pageant galpal, whose bombshell appearance receives unsolicited cat-calls and attention from random strangers. The lyrics express jealousy within a relationship, specifically, other guys looking at his girl! "It's not your fault that they hover, I mean no disrespect," Jonas shows off his sultry side, belts his heart out, admitting that he gets jealous of his gorgeous girlfriend, Miss USA 2012 squeeze, Olivia Culpo, 22. "It's my right to be hellish, I still get jealous."
Jonas enlisted Culpo to prove his point about why he can get so hellish. The Peter Tunney-directed surreal clip takes viewers on a psychedelic ride as he hops on a motorcycle through a cartoonish backdrop, while Culpo and another woman are seen in various glamor shots, basically just driving Jonas crazy with jealousy. "I had a specific experience that sort of inspired me to write this song and got the ball rolling in that sense, and it's not limited to that by any means," Jonas told MTV. "And this video is about getting a little bit deeper and opening the conversation up and just having fun while we do it."
And it certainly seems like they had a lot of fun, as the video features Culpo stripping down to her lingerie to play the cello in the clouds, Jonas playing piano with a little old lady and getting beat pretty bad at a game of basketball, walking down a city street and singing with an old-school microphone. Late Jonas and Culpo come together in an old-school yellow cab. But, if you look closely, the clip shows a completely different side of the singer, is feathered with a bunch of inspirational and hidden messages which appear on street signs, on city walls and his instruments. It may serve as a deeper message, possibly in reference to his new solo career.

Nick Jonas Is All Tied Up with "Chains"

Nick Jonas is all grown up and free of his Jonas Brothes 'chains.' The actor-singer kicked off his solo career with a bang earlier this week when he released the video for "Chains," his first post-Jonas Brothers single, and a song that he said "embodies the feeling of being trapped in a love that is hopeless." The 21-year-old made one thing very clear: It's not going to sound a damn thing like "Lovebug." Quite the opposite, in fact: "Chains" is drenched in S&M and rather adult themes straight out of "Fifty Shades of Grey." It's all about a girl who's got him in - you guessed it - chains for her love - but we're guessing that's not just a metaphor.
In the black-and-white, brooding and decidedly adult video, directed by Ryan Pallotta, Jonas is seen falling through the air, fighting with an army, while a well-produced track plays over occasionally disconcerting imagery. "Gave you my heart but you took my soul," sings Jonas, while being dragged across the floor of a church and tied up in chains on a chair by a mystery woman.  "You got me in chains for your love..." he sings in the dark, R&B-leaning track and shows off his biceps in a rolled up, ragged white T-shirt by AllSaints.
About halfway through, Jonas finally breaks free of his titular shackles - which may or may not be a metaphor for his time with the Jonas Brothes - and pursues a beautiful girl he loves, played by Dylan Penn, the daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright. Jonas then has to push through a S.W.A.T. team to reach the 23-year-old model. "I'm talking about love, I'm talking about heartbreak, a big theme for me in this is trust, and fear," he told MTV News about the inspiration for the song.
"The story behind 'Chains' is basically that feeling that all people can relate to, its being trapped. For me specifically in this song, I connected to love and trust and for some people they have said its broader for them, its more than love, it can be about anything that entangles you in your life and doesn't let you do what you need to do to feel free," he said. "I think this is a good fit and I fell in love with the song and I really feel like it has become a staple for this album." Jonas may be all grown up, but he hasn't completely abandoned his Disney roots.
