"What A Man Gotta Do" is a single by American group Jonas Brothers. It was released on January 17, 2020.[1]

Background

The group announced the song's name and release date on January 14, 2020, through a scratch card on Spotify.[2]

Critical reception

Peggy Sirota for Billboard described the song as a "catchy, toe-tapping" song accompanied by an "equally heart-melting music video".[3]

Music video

After several days of teasing, the group released their new single "What a Man Gotta Do," alongside a video in which they recreate three well-known eighties films.[4] In the rollout to the visual’s Thursday midnight release, hints about the video's themes were revealed via retro movie posters mirroring classic late seventies and eighties films.[5]

Synopsis

The fun-loving clip stars Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas doing their best dancing-half-naked-in-the-living-room recreation from Risky Business. Then there's Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, who channel Danny and Sandy at the school dance from Grease — with Sophie taking on a surprising bonus role. To round it out, Kevin Jonas pulls off that iconic Say Anything scene, holding a boombox outside his wife Danielle's bedroom window.[4]
