Nick Jonas just dropped his new albumsaat porno izlemek Last Year Was Complicated, and it is currently enjoying the number one slot on iTunes. 

But before we sink our teeth into what Nick calls his "most personal" body of work yet, let's take a moment to remember the path that brought Nick Jonas to where he is today.

If you know every word to “Jealous,” but don’t know what Broadway has to do with Nick, keep reading be ready for some charming footage of 12-year-old Nick singing.

1999: Nick has previously chalked everything up to being “in the right place at the right time” when it comes to his discovery. A woman overheard him singing at his mother’s hair salon in New Jersey and referred him to an agent. Soon, Jonas was auditioning for Broadway shows and went on to perform in four shows, including Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables andSound of Music—all by the age of 11.

2005: Nick didn’t head straight to Disney Channel quite yet. After Broadway, he recorded “Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)” which made its way onto Christian Radio and led to a solo record deal with Columbia Records. “Dear God” was the first single off of the album, but the song that stuck out was “Please Be Mine” which featured his brothers, Kevin and Joe Jonas. This was the brothers' first official collaboration and ended up launching them into boy band territory after being re-recorded for their 2006 debut album, It’s About Time.

2007: The brothers kept things nice and easy and went with the band name Jonas Brothers. They were dropped from Columbia Records in 2007 according to Billboard, but promptly picked up again by Hollywood Records. 

After tours, soundtrack appearances and Baby Bottle pop jingles, the band released Jonas Brothers, a reintroduction of sorts to the trio. It did well and launched them into the Billboard Charts. TV appearances, original movies, White House visits and headlining arena tours followed during these peak JoBro fever years. The went on to release two more albums.

2009: After his profile shot up, Nick, the second youngest Jonas (never forget about Frankie), decided to test out solo material again. While the Jonas Brothers were still together Nick released a project called Who I Am by a new group dubbed Nick Jonas and the Administration, modeled after Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. The band included members of Prince’s entourage. Nick and the musicians toured the album the following year.

2010-2012: Nick took acting a notch higher from his Jonas Brother ventures and went back to his theater roots with roles in Les Miserables in London, Hairspray in Los Angelesand a stint on Broadway starring in How to Succeed in Business Without Trying. 

In 2012 the Jonas Brothers left Hollywood Records after three albums. 

2013: Then...it happened. The unthinkable. Due to creative differences and an alleged friction, Jonas Brothers broke up -- much to the dismay of fans who believed that a band of brothers couldn't actually break up. 

The brothers responded with an open letter to supporters, stating "The time has come for us to move forward on individual career paths. We have been a band of brothers for 10 years and are now choosing simply to be brothers." 

People still cried a lot.

2014: So how did Nick go from Broadway to boyband back to Broadway to now writing sexed up anthems in clubs across the world? His calculated rebranding efforts—short hair, shirtless photoshoots, risqué acting roles, hip-hop hooks (all paired with normal 20-something-year-old growth and change)—are reflected in his first 'adult' solo album, titled Nick Jonas, and the ruthlessly infectious single, "Jealous."

"I wanted to be completely open and transparent stepping into a new phase and with the idea that I’m starting over as a brand new artist," he told J-14. 

Nick also announced Safehouse Records, a new artist-centric label with Island Records, Demi Lovato and music executive Phil McIntyre. 

2016: Today, Nick is well positioned at the intersection of pop and R&B. While he might not be the prince or king of pop, he definitely wears the bachelor of pop title well. 

Don't worry: The day has finally returned and it's now cool to like Nick Jonas again.
