Background and composition

edit

"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 6 January Nick said about the song on Twitter:

Played a new song I wrote last night, at the show tonight called ‘Stay’. It's 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 category Choice Music: Love Song.[7]

Release

edit

On 2 March 2010,[8] the band released the song "Stay" as a digital single[4][9] and a digital EP.[10] Jonas said that the song wouldn't be on their first record because he wrote it too late for it to be added. The digital single/digital EP of "Stay" contains only the live version of the song. Another live version of the song was recorded on 28 January at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.[11][12] In May 2010, the song was included on the live album Nick Jonas & the Administration: Live at the Wiltern January 28th, 2010.[11]
