"What a Man Gotta Do" is a song by American pop rock group Jonas Brothers. It was released on January 17, 2020, through Republic Records.[1]

Background[]

The group announced the song's name and release date on January 13, 2020, through social media. They promoted the song the next day through a scratch card on Spotify.[2]

The piece is set in the key of E major in a moderate 4/4 beat. The vocal range of the brothers span two whole octaves from E3 to E5.[citation needed]

Critical reception[]

Peggy Sirota for Billboard described the song as a "catchy, toe-tapping" song accompanied by an "equally heart-melting music video".[3]

Music video[]

After several days of teasing, the group released the song alongside a video in which they recreate three well-known eighties films.[4] In the rollout to the visual's Friday, January 17, 2020 release, hints about the video's themes were revealed via retro movie posters mirroring classic late seventies and eighties films.[5] The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn.[6]

Synopsis[]

The clip stars Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas recreating the dancing-half-naked-in-the-living-room scene from Risky Business, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner playing Danny and Sandy and then Cha-Cha at the school dance from Grease, and Kevin Jonas holding a boombox outside his wife Danielle's bedroom window in homage to the scene from Say Anything....[4] The video features also a cameo from Full Metal Jacket actor Matthew Modine.[7]

Vegas Ride[]

An alternate video was released on January 21, 2020, in which the brothers ride around Las Vegas looking at the attractions.[8]

Live performances[]

On January 25, 2020, the group performed the song live for the first time at the Hollywood Palladium during the Citi Sound Vault.[9] They also performed the song live during the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards as well as a previous unreleased track called, "Five More Minutes".[10] They performed the song live during the first show of their European leg of the Happiness Begins Tour.[11] On February 7, 2020, they performed the song on BBC's The One Show.[citation needed] On February 12, 2020, just like their March 2019 number-one song, "Sucker", they performed the song live on The Late Late Show with James Corden.[12] The Jonas Brothers performed the song along "X" (without Karol G) and "Sucker" as Exclusive 'home' sessions recorded especially for Radio 1's Big Weekend.[13]
