The Jonas Brothers have teamed up with Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis for a new track, "Loved You Better," featured on their highly anticipated album, Greetings from Your Hometown, released this Friday, August 8th. The song, already being hailed as a standout ballad, marks a significant collaboration for both artists.
A Ballad Born from Connection
Nick Jonas revealed that the collaboration came about after Joe Jonas and Dean Lewis connected. Lewis shared a song, "Loved You Better," which resonated deeply with the Jonas Brothers. So much so, that Dean Lewis generously held the track back from his own album to allow the Jonas Brothers to include it on theirs.
"There’s a song we did with Dean Lewis, which is a great story," Nick Jonas explained. "Joe and Dean connected and sent some songs over, and one of them was ‘Loved You Better’. Dean was kind enough to hold the song back from his own album so we could include it on ours. I just have to give him flowers, it’s such a kind thing, and probably my favourite ballad we’ve done in our last 5–6 albums."
Lewis expressed his excitement online, stating, "Guys….. I’m a Jonas brother now!!!!! It’s been so hard to keep this secret but I’m so excited to share that i got to write a song with the boys and it’s on their new album out friday!!!! It’s called loved you better, hope you love it."
Greetings From Your Hometown: A Milestone Album

This is their seventh studio album and their second full-length release since their reunion in 2019 after a six-year hiatus. The album is sure to be a hit with fans eager for new music from the iconic band.
Dean Lewis's Rising Star
Dean Lewis is currently on a world tour following the deluxe release of his album, The Epilogue. His breakout hit, "Be Alright," launched him to international fame in 2019, and he has continued to build a dedicated fanbase. He reflects on his journey, saying, "It’s hard to believe that I started out playing to 100 people in tiny venues, and now I’m headlining places like Rod Laver Arena, Wembley, Ziggo Dome, and the Royal Arena. This truly feels like a dream come true."
