"X" is a song by American pop rock band Jonas Brothers; it features Colombian reggaeton singer and songwriter Karol G. It was released on May 15, 2020. The song was released concurrently with "Five More Minutes".

Background

On May 11, 2020, the group announced the single "X" and announced that the release of the song would be on May 15, 2020.[1] The singles "Five More Minutes" and "X" were both featured in their tour documentary called Happiness Continues: A Jonas Brothers Concert Film, which was released in April. During an interview with Insider, Kevin Jonas said "The new single 'X' is a song that I'm so excited about". He further explained the way he feels about the collaboration is reminiscent of how he felt about the band's hit 2019 track called "Sucker", which marked their musical comeback after a six-year hiatus. "I can honestly say there was only one other time where I had a song of ours constantly in my head", Jonas said. "It was 'Sucker' and 'What a Man Gotta Do,' but 'Sucker' specifically just kind of stayed there as kind of an earworm."[2]

Critical reception

Billboard's Jessica Roiz said that "X" is “true Jonas Brothers fashion, the tune is catchy dance-pop meshed with flairs of Latin-alt rumba”.[1] Rolling Stone's Aletha legaspi called X a sultry dance number with flirty lyrics; while Karol G also chimes in with her fiery verse in Spanish.[3]

Live performances

They are set to perform the single live with Karol G during the eighteenth season finale of The Voice on May 19, 2020.[1]
