Love Bug Video debut

The track — like a lot of the JoBros' songs — is about puppy love, but this time the brothers are going acoustic. They also found inspiration from an unlikely source — the soundtrack to a movie about a sassy, pregnant teenage girl.

"The vision for the song actually came from some different inspirations," Nick added. "But 'Juno' was one of our favorite movies at the time, and the soundtrack is always kind of odd, so we decided to put those elements in the song, and it came very nicely."

That soundtrack might have helped shape the song, but Nick also had another major songwriting influence: "I think there are a lot of things we draw from, but that song in particular is a Beatles influence."

Although no names were mentioned when asked just who the song might be about, Joe did say that the lyrics' meaning is really open to the listener's interpretation. "It can mean anything," he said. "But for us, it's throwing any past inhibitions to the wind."

"Really, just falling in love with somebody," Nick added. "And [how] if they break your heart — or however it ends — you think, 'That's it forever,' until the lovebug gets you [again]."

The group hopes to release the Philip Andelman-directed video by October 15.
