What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the new Jonas Brothers single sticks with the formula that has made them a family favorite: rockin' tracks and kid-friendly lyrics. The song deals with a mildly negative issue, an ambiguous case of the Jo Bros feeling nervous, stressed, and out of sorts -- feelings most tweens can understand.
What's the story?
Who's that staring at you? What are they saying behind your back? Seems hard to believe, but the Jonas Brothers have a bad case of paranoia on their new single, PARANOID. Although they don't name exactly what's got them so stressed on the single, they do mention an ex-girlfriend, whose lies are contributing to them looking over their shoulders all the time.The first release off of their hotly anticipated album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, this single debuted with great promotion on both Radio Disney and Facebook.
Is it any good?
Paranoid isn't your typical Jonas Brothers song. It's a little darker and a little edgier. But that doesn't mean it lacks that bubbly pop rock sound fans have come to adore. The JoBros do a decent job of diverging from the love and dance party themes, delving into deeper psychological territory. Although the song only skims the surface of angst, it rocks a nice balance between rock and pop.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how a popular act, like the Jonas Brothers, stays famous. Do you think fans of the group will automatically buy their new single or album just because it's from the trio? After listening to the song, would you have a different response to this song if you didn't know it was from the Jonas Brothers? Does being success make future success easier to obtain?

Another age-limit bending hit from the JoBros
This song is a bit deeper than most JB songs, except maybe 'a little bit longer'(in which youngest band member Nick(16) sings about the reality of living with a incurable disease(type 1 diabetes)). The brothers wonder about what people are saying about them and get 'Paranoid', but still keep the song fresh, upbeat and as bubble gum-y as can be while pursuing these heavy questions. Careful lyrics and lots of rhythm insure that the real meaning of the song will go over the head of most younger listeners. This is the kind of song you can listen to in the car with kids of any age without having to worry about what you're exposing them to.

Catchy and Fun for Jo Bros Fans, but after the 10th time on the radio, Anti-Fans will emerge.
This song was overplayed, but now I wished they'd play it more. But if they start playing it again over 10 times, I will hate it. The brothers are good role models, so for the good role model sticker they win, but the consumerism sticker will never leave them. They're showcased all OF THE TIME on Radio Disney, JONAS, and school supplies, backpacks, t-shirts, etc. These guys are all consumerised...
