Joe Jonas and Aly & AJ are squashing all potential of “Potential Breakup Song” being about the DNCE frontman, with the trio reuniting in a hilarious TikTok posted Tuesday (May 20).
In the clip on Jonas’ account, he mimes talking on the phone while singing the lyrics to the 2007 hit. “It took too long, it took too long, it took too long for you to call back,” he says before the camera pans over to the Michalka sisters, who do the same with the next lines of the song: “And normally I would just forget that/ Except for the fact it was my birthday.”
On the final line, the camera zooms out to capture all three former Disney Channel stars as they deliver the song’s iconic kiss-off: “My stupid birthday!”
In his caption, the Camp Rock alum wrote, “Ok but I’d never do that on your birthday @Aly and AJ.” In the replies, Aly & AJ replied, “And yet they STILL think it’s about you.”
The stars’ comments refer to a yearslong theory that “Potential Breakup Song” was written about Jonas, whom AJ dated when they were teenagers. In fact, the sisters revealed in a 2020 interview with Business Insider that the track was never “connected to any particular person.”
“We were just like, ‘Let’s write a break up song,'” AJ said at the time. “We weren’t thinking it was going to be a breakup anthem, but it kind of became that, which is really cool.”
Aly & AJ first met the JoBros when both groups were working with Disney, with the former starring in Disney Channel’s Cow Belles and the latter — which also features Joe’s brothers, Nick and Kevin — led two Camp Rock movies and a series titled Jonas on the network. On Call Her Daddy in January, AJ reflected on dating Joe for a year and a half, revealing that their first kiss was in a bowling alley. “It was so innocent,” she said at the time. “It was sweet.”
