Jonas Brothers' Cool: The Sequel to Burnin' Up

The follow-up single Cool was not only a follow up to "Sucker" but also to the Jonas Brothers 2008 hit single "Burnin' Up".

There were tons of references made in the song like the Post Malone lyrics, the Game of Thrones nod, the perfume, Kevin Jonas' guitar strap, and the flying V guitar, and more, but I would just be covering the ones that referenced the aforementioned 2008 hit single.



The new Jonas Brothers single started out with a conversation with another man while they were all sitting down, like the opening of "Burnin' Up" where Big Rob handed them the script.

There was also that "red Dress" lyric reference in the first stanza of "Cool", a nod to the famous line in the 2008 hit. Moreover, the trio was singing poolside once again.

For their latest single, Joe Jonas sported a thick mustache close to the one that Freddie Mercury had during the 1980s. He did not have to wear fake mustaches anymore like he did for "Burnin' Up" and another 2008 release, "Love Is On Its Way".

Joe Jonas definitely proved himself wrong when he said he could not grow a mustache.

"Cool" certainly felt like a song to chill out with for the summer. It also had the mood of a song from the Jonas LA soundtrack. Additionally, the music video would definitely fit as a sequel to the Miami Vice-parody, "Hot Tropic", in Joe's segment in "Burnin' Up". Even the fonts used, they looked the same!

After burnin' up, the Jonas Brothers would recommend for us to just be cool.
