During an interview with Insider, Kevin Jonas said "I think 'Five More Minutes' is one of my favorite songs in this body of work that we have [..] It was written at our writing camp when we went away as a group with all of our friends and it's just fantastic. It feels good, it's an amazing song."[2]
