As their name suggests, the Jonas Brothers are a real-life trio of brothers who form a vocal group.

The title “Sucker” is spelled differently from the sport “soccer,” and here it means “someone who’s infatuated.” It’s a song about thinking of and being crazy about someone you love, but with lines like “Your presence is both a drug and a pain, etched into my brain like a tattoo,” it also hints that being too obsessed can be a little scary—a fervent, head-over-heels love song.
