Released August 8, 2025, Greetings from Your Hometown marks a nostalgic return for the Jonas Brothers as they celebrate 20 years with a love-letter to their Jersey roots and a musical nod to the icons who shaped them. Featuring 14 tracks, with collabs from Dean Lewis, Switchfoot and Marshmello, it’s their most welcoming album in years.

Critics are mostly on board with Greetings from Your Hometown, with Melodic Magazine praising its stripped back production and 70s-tinged nostalgia layered over the brothers’ signature pop charm, while Showbiz by PS called it a clear step up from The Album. Not everyone’s swooning though, CultFollowing threw shade with a one star slam calling it “a blob of insincere emotions,” but the fans are firmly in the “play it on repeat” camp. Reddit threads are overflowing with love for “Mirror to the Sky,” “Tables” and the Dean Lewis collab “Loved You Better.” The album serves as the launchpad for the Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour, kicking off at MetLife Stadium before hitting 43 cities across North American.
