The Jonas Brothers' 'I Need You Christmas' Lyrics Are Truly Made Just for COVID Times

What does a COVID-19 Christmas song sound like? Turns out you didn't even have to wait until November 1 to find out. The Jonas Brothers got ahead of the holiday bandwagon

and released "I Need You Christmas" on October 30. Sorry to Thanksgiving; as Mariah Carey jokingly declared on Twitter, it's kind of canceled.

Lyrically, "I Need You Christmas" isn't your typical holiday song. It touches on the isolation many people around the world have faced as they've spent the bulk of 2020 quarantining: "Times have been lonely/And lately I just feel alone/I need you, Christmas," Nick Jonas sings in the first verse.

All three Jonas Brothers explained the meaning of the track on the track on their Instagrams hours before it came out. They each wrote: "With having such a crazy year, we all really need something to look forward to... the Holidays is a time that brings us together and is something that brings us joy in the darkest of times," he wrote. "For us, this song stirs up memories of childhood snowball fights and finding the nearest hill to sled. It brings us back to spending time with family setting up the Christmas tree. Hopefully it can bring you guys the same feelings of warmth and happiness that creating it has brought us. We love you guys very much!"

Verse 1: Nick Jonas
I need you, Christmas
Friends by the fire to hold
Times have been lonely
And lately I just feel alone
I need you, Christmas
Family with nowhere to go
Angels on treetops and angels in the snow
Oh, the cold

Chorus: Nick Jonas
Seasons change, come and go
But there's one thing I know
You'll just stay the same
You don't ever change

Verse 2: Joe Jonas
I miss the feeling
Waiting for Santa to show
Caroling late night
And all the children's eyes aglow
I need you, Christmas
Oh how I miss you the most
Greetings from loved ones
And lovers under mistletoe
Oh, oh, oh
If you're young, if you're old
We all wait to be told
Just a simple phrase
"Have a Merry Christmas"
Ooh, ooh
Christmas, ooh, ooh, ooh Chorus: Joe Jonas
Seasons change, come and go
But there's one thing I hope
You'll just stay the same
You don't ever change

Outro: Joe Jonas
'Cause I need you, Christmas
