"Stay"
Song

"Stay" is the second single of Nick Jonas and the Administration. The song didn't appear on their first album Who I Am.

Background

"Stay" "is a song Nick wrote when he had a day off in Washington[1][2][3] It came after some things that I was going through that really inspired it. and I'm just in a good place right now and was able to get a song out of it, which is always nice."[4]

On January 6 Nick said about the song on Twitter:

Played a new song I wrote last night, at the show tonight called ‘Stay’. Its about fallin for someone. I hope you like it when you hear it.One of the lines is… 'Now that the pain is done, no need to be afraid, we don’t have time to waste, just tell me that you’ll stay'. 'One more line from ‘Stay’.'Beautiful, one of a kind. You’re something special babe, and you don’t even realize that your my hearts desire.[5] One final line for the night. ‘Its hard to believe where we are now, your hand in mine feels right somehow’ – Stay”[6]

In 2010 the song was nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the categorie Choice Music: Love Song.[7]

Release

On March 2, 2010[8] they released the song "Stay" as a digital single[4][9] and a digital EP.[10] Nick said that the song won't be on their first record because he wrote it too late to add it.
