In an exciting throwback moment that resonates with early 2000s nostalgia, Joe Jonas recently reunited with Aly and AJ Michalka to perform their hit song “Potential Breakup Song,” a track long rumored to be inspired by his past relationship with AJ.
On May 19, 2025, Jonas shared a TikTok video featuring him lip-syncing alongside the sister duo, reigniting memories for many millennial fans. The video showcases a memorable line from the song that reflects the sentiments of missed calls and unacknowledged birthdays, which fans have interpreted as a subtle nod to his past with AJ: “It took too long for you to call back / And normally I would just forget that. Except for the fact it was my birthday.”
Jonas humorously captioned the post, “Ok but I’d never do that on your birthday @Aly and AJ,” adding a playful twist to the moment.
The history between the Jonas Brothers and Aly and AJ dates back to their initial meeting on the “Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour” in 2005 and their subsequent collaboration on the “Living Room Tour.” Following a brief romance, AJ and Joe’s relationship ended by late 2006. Although never officially confirmed, it’s long been speculated among fans that “Potential Breakup Song” reflects their history.
In a 2020 interview with Insider, AJ maintained a level of mystery around the song’s inspiration, claiming it wasn’t tied to anyone specific at the time they wrote it. She remarked that while they didn’t intend for the song to become a breakup anthem, it’s exciting that it has garnered that reputation.
Interestingly, during the same year, AJ described Joe as her first kiss in an interview, recalling a sweet, innocent moment shared at a bowling alley, which adds another layer to their history.
This nostalgic reunion serves as a reminder of young love and the enduring connections forged in the music industry, leaving fans delighted and hopeful for more collaborations from these beloved artists.
