TXT is back — and they brought the Jonas Brothers with them! The It-boys of K-pop returned with the single “Do It Like That” featuring the JoBros themselves — yeah, you heard that right! Keep reading for details on the single.
Are TXT and the Jonas Brothers Collaborating?
On June 16, TXT rolled out a “Coming Soon” teaser image announcing that they will be releasing a digital single in July. A few days later, the group confirmed they would be collaborating with the Jonas Brothers on a single titled “Do It Like That”!
“Do It Like That” was released on July 7, 2023, along with a music video. The track is produced by Jonas Bros frequent collaborator and producer, Ryan Tedder.
Collab rumors between TXT and the Jonas Brothers first sparked after Ryan, the producer and OneRepublic frontman, shared a video of himself in the studio with TOMORROW X TOGETHER in June 2023.
Following the update, fans started theorizing that their upcoming collab could be with the Jonas Brothers, as Ryan also recently worked with the former Disney stars on their May 2023 album titled The Album.
Additionally, the members of TXT might have even given us another hint after posting a photo on Twitter of the members lying in front of a pool, which looks to be a direct reference to the Jonas Brothers cover art for their 2019 album Happiness Begins.
TXT’s Twitter caption was “We go Together,” which is the opening line of the Jonas Brothers’ song “Sucker.” We should’ve known!
Who Are TXT?
ICYMI, TXT first debuted in 2019 with “Crown,” and was the first group to come out of the music company HYBE since mega-famous group BTS‘ debut in 2013. The band is comprised of five members including Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Huening Kai.
TXT’s upcoming July comeback will be the first music release that TXT has released since The Name Chapter: Temptation, which dropped in January 2023.
“Musically, we wanted this EP to reflect all that we can do because I feel that we’re really finding ourselves as a band,” Soobin told Dazed in February 2023 of The Name Chapter: Temptation. “We always knew what we wanted in terms of our career, but the picture is definitely becoming clearer and clearer.”
Beomgyu explained that the boys usually work on music “non-stop,” but in terms of their most recent EP, “it was in the works from early May last year.”
