About Chains

"Chains" is a song by American singer Nick Jonas, taken from his eponymous second album. It was released on July 30, 2014 by Island and Republic Records as the lead single from the album. The song was written and produced by Jason Evigan, with additional songwriting provided by Ammar Malik, and Danny Parker. It is an R&B song, using kick drum-driven beats, a splash of bass-dropping trap at the intro and bridge as the song's instrumentation. Lyrically, the song talks about feeling trapped in a binding and hopeless love. Considered a departure from his music with the Jonas Brothers and Nick Jonas & the Administration, the song was praised by music critics for being an adult song, with his vocals and its production being praised.

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Ryan Pallotta and was released on July 30, 2014. After the success of "Jealous" at radio stations in the US, Island and Republic re-released "Chains" as Jonas' next single. The song impacted Mainstream radio stations on January 20, 2015.

With her wine-stained lips, yeah she’s nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but she’s warm as a devil
I gave all my heart but she won't heal my soul
She tasted a break and I can’t get more

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey) tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

Alone in the night ‘til she knocks on my door (oh no)
Oh no, wasted again but I can’t say no (no)
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul

You got me in chains (oh babe), you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change (I wouldn’t change), no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change (wouldn't change), no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey) tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

(Hey hey hey hey)
(You got me in) Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul (hey)

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me in chains (oh babe), you got me in chains for your love (oh)
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
