“If God gives you something you don’t think you want / Don’t you forget just how lucky you are,”
Nick Jonas sings in the first verse of “Lucky”.  “Lucky” is the 12th track from the Jonas Brothers’ 2025 album, Greetings From Your Hometown. Nick and Joe Jonas penned “Lucky” with Jordan K. Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Jason Evigan, Mike Elizondo, Sean Douglas, and Amy Wadge. That’s a lot of writers! The Monsters & Strangerz, Evigan, and Elizondo produced it. The rhythmic acoustic guitar sets the tone of this sincere, sweet, and thoughtful song. Nick sounds beautiful as he sings in the first verse, never over-singing. Joe Jonas sings the second verse. He contrasts his younger brother, but sounds equally beautiful: “I’m always with you, no matter how far / Don’t you forget just how lucky you are.”

The chorus that follows is sweet, sweet, sweet! It is particularly beautiful when Nick and Joe harmonize.

“Ooh-ooh

Even the bad times might make you laugh

Ooh-ooh

Live every day like it might be your last

You’ll be alright

It’ll be alright.”

Strings add warmth to the chorus. Nick sings the third and final verse. “I know it feels like a dream / Faking a smile while you rip at the seams,” he asserts, and adds, “No way to measure the pain in your heart / But don’t you forget just how lucky you are. Following the second chorus, he performs a brief bridge, followed by the outro.  The message is much the same: “With all of the bruises and all of the scars / Don’t you forget just how lucky you are / I won’t forget just how lucky we are.”
