Chains Lyrics

With her wine-stained lips, yeah she’s nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but she’s warm as a devil
I gave all my heart but she won't heal my soul
She tasted a break and I can’t get more

You got me in Chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey) Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

Alone in the night ‘til she knocks on my door (Oh no)
Oh no, wasted again but I can’t say no (No)
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul

You got me in chains (Oh babe), you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change (I wouldn’t change), no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change (Wouldn't change), no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey) Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

(Hey hey hey hey)
(You got me in) Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul (Hey)

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains (Oh babe), you got me in chains for your love (Oh)
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

Chains

This R&B leaning cut finds Nick Jonas singing about being trapped in a hopeless love. He explained: "The story behind 'Chains' is basically that feeling that all people can relate to, it's being trapped."

"For me specifically in this song, I connected to love and trust and for some people they have said it's broader for them," Nick added, "it's more than love, it can be about anything that entangles you in your life and doesn't let you do what you need to do to feel free."

The song was produced by Jason Evigan, whose previous credits include Nick Jonas's friend Demi Lovato's hit single "Heart Attack."

The song's music video was co-directed by Nick Jonas with Ryan Pallotta (Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato). It was filmed at Los Angeles' historic Hotel Alexandria, which has also served as the location for Dreamgirls, Water for Elephants and Se7en. Dylan Penn, who is the daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright, plays Nick's love interest in the steamy clip, "It's basically a surreal world that we've created where the heart and emotion and heart of the song are tied into a really beautiful visual," the singer told MTV News.

Nick Jonas launched his eponymous second studio album with this song. He explained to Billboard magazine: "'Chains' was a bridge between what people had heard from me in the past and what was coming. This leans more toward alternative R&B, neo-soul."

Nick Jonas teamed up with directors Black Coffee and artist Peter Tunney, who directed the "Jealous" clip for a second, lighter video. The visual finds Jonas heading down to an outdoor party at the famed Wynwood Walls graffiti art gallery in Miami. Once inside the bash we see him dancing with his fellow-party goers then later performing for them.
