Following the release of their fourth studio album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009), the Jonas Brothers confirmed a hiatus. The band's third studio album, A Little Bit Longer (2008), saw continued commercial success for the group the album's lead single " Burnin' Up" hit the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
