Just in Love

"Just in Love" is a song by American singer Joe Jonas. The song was released on September 13, 2011 by Hollywood Records, as the second and final single from his debut studio album, Fastlife (2011). The song was written by Jonas and James Fauntleroy and produced by Rob Knox. The song garnered mixed reception from music critics. An official remix of the track features a verse from American rapper Lil Wayne and slightly altered production; it received a Parental Advisory sticker for this because of the explicit lyrics Lil Wayne raps, but the clean version was made the official version. The Lil Wayne remix was also featured in May 2019, on the tracklist of Jonas Brothers reunion documentary, Chasing Happiness. Lil Wayne's explicit lyrics are said there, but however, it does not have an explicit content tag and does not credit Lil Wayne's feature as well.

Not to be confused with the Irving Berlin song You're Just In Love.

Background and composition[edit]

The song was written by Joe Jonas and James Fauntleroy, with production by Rob Knox. "Just in Love" is a Latin-tinged dance track with a thumping beat behind a synthy sound. In the song, Joe professes his love for a girl who may not be clear about his intentions. On the chorus, he sings, "Just running from the truth/ That I'm scared of losing you/ You are worth too much to lose/ Baby, even if you're still confused/ Girl I'm just in love with you."[1]


Jonas explained the song’s origin, telling Ryan Seacrest: "This is a song I wrote when I was going through a relationship with somebody. She [was] arguing with me, and all I could do was say ‘Listen, I love you, but we don’t need to go through this’".[2]

Critical reception[edit]

Scott Shetler from Pop Crunch rated it 4.5 out of five stars and says that "a seductive song that impresses in just about every way. The track has a lot of energy, with guitars and synths accentuating a powerful beat."[3]

Remix[edit]

On October 3, 2011, the official remix was released on On Air with Ryan Seacrest. It featured a new verse and background vocals from rapper Lil Wayne, replacing the second verse. The song was made available on iTunes on October 4, 2011.[7] The remix is featured on the Fastlife CD, however, it is censored at two spots during Lil Wayne's rap.
