Nick Jonas has released a truly trippy music video for his new single Jealous. Join Nick on a psychedelic, groovy ride as he sings to his girlfriend, former Miss USA, Olivia Culpo.

Directed by artist Peter Tunney, the surreal video sees Jonas riding a motorcycle through a cartoonish world, playing basketball, showing off his fighting skills and getting a bit jealous of the attention his girlfriend is receiving from some other guys.
What we really love about this video are the little inspirational hidden messages everywhere, on road signs, on instruments, painted on walls – “Remain Calm,” “No Whining”, “Courage”, “Don’t panic” and “the time is now”.
“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,” Nick told MTV News. “This video is about getting a little bit deeper and opening the conversation up and just having fun while we do it.”
They certainly had fun with this video! Olivia strips down to her lingerie to play the cello in the clouds (as you do), Nick joins a sweet old lady in the clouds to play the piano and gets beaten at basketball by a guy who looks twice his size.
Nick debuted the video yesterday (September 16th) on his 22nd birthday and invited fans to join him at New York’s South Street Seaport. This is the latest single from his upcoming self-titled album which is out November 11.
It’s great to see Nick breaking out even more from his Jo-Bro status and to hear people talking about Nick Jonas the solo artist, as opposed to Nick Jonas former Jonas Brother.
