“I had written five or six songs that were on my heart, things that were just pouring out of me with this new and exciting sound,” says Jonas. “They weren’t necessarily right for the Jonas Brothers, but I thought they could be perfect for something else.”

Nick said that he’s modeling The Administration after Bruce Springsteen. “I’m kind of modeling it after Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band,” he said. “It’s kind of the look we were going for stylistically on the album cover and just the project in general… [Springsteen] pours so much passion and emotion into all of his songs every night and I hope I can capture that too.
