Why We Rated This on for Ages 9 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Innocent enough, but a tiny, teeny bit suggestive: "High heels, red dress/all by yourself/gotta catch my breath…I'm slipping into the lava/I'm trying to keep from going under/Baby, you turn the temperature hotter/'cause I'm burning up, burning up, for you baby."

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Obvious tie-in to the Jonas Brothers and all things Disney.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About "Burnin' Up" (CD single)

Parents need to know that this single is just a wee little steamier for the Jonas Brothers than the typical campy stuff we've heard from them in the past as the boys lament about a girl that they're hot for. It's still fine for tweens, though. The video is a tame James Bond-esque montage of the band fighting crime and saving the ladies from peril.
