Prior to working with the Jonas Brothers, Fields actually found his first mainstream success producing Switchfoot’sThe Beautiful Letdown, making this recording a full-circle moment.
“We grew up listening to their album ‘The Beautiful Letdown’ and “Meant to Live” was a huge influence for us. We’ve seen them a ton of times live and we always wanted to work with their music producer (John Fields),” the band said in a statement.
They continued, “‘Twenty Four’ was the first song that me (Joe) and Kevin ever played together. This album has incredible significance for us on an emotional level but also sonically it was a big part of our sound.”

With the release of the cover of their song, Switchfoot bandleader Jon Foreman reminisced about his first meeting with the band of brothers.
“The first time we met the Jonas Brothers was on our tour bus somewhere in the middle of the country. This was at least a decade ago and I had never heard of them before. (Apparently I live under a rock!) They seemed like wonderful, talented young men. We were chatting for a while when they asked for advice. I gave them some sort of ‘follow your dreams and stay true to your heart’ talk. The next week at the airport I saw them on the cover ofRolling Stonemagazine. I did a double take and started laughing. Not sure they needed my pep talk- (maybe they needed to give me one‽ ha!),” he said in a statement.
