On March 13, Kevin Jonas Sr. will release “Key Of You,” a heartfelt new song written by acclaimed Grammy Award-winning songwriter Marcus Hummon and Bryan Simpson. The deeply personal love song is dedicated to his wife of 40 years, Denise, and reflects a lifetime partnership rooted in music, faith, family and perseverance.
Long before he became known as the father of global superstars the Jonas Brothers, Kevin Jonas Sr. was a musician and songwriter himself. While he has spent decades guiding his sons’ careers and building businesses of his own, he rarely steps into the spotlight as an artist. “Key Of You” was different. Available on Red Van Records, you can pre-save/pre-add the song HERE.
“I’ve always been a big fan of Marcus Hummon, and I’m honored he trusted me with this song,” says Kevin. “Denise and I are celebrating 40 years of marriage this year, and this is really my anniversary gift to her. We’ve been through so many changes, ups and downs, celebrations and pain. I’m fortunate to have someone who believed in me, who saw not just where I was but what I could become. She tolerates my quirks, and in spite of me, she’s still here. I’m still amazed and grateful I get to celebrate this life with her.”
The song captures the steady, enduring love the couple shares, a relationship that has carried them through every season of life, including Kevin’s battle with colon cancer.
In 2017, Kevin was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer after initially ignoring early warning signs. Fortunately, doctors caught it before it spread. Today, he is cancer-free and committed to using his voice to encourage others not to wait.
“I should not have ignored the signs,” Kevin shares. “I was blessed they caught it early. Getting tested is simple, and it can save your life. If sharing my story helps even one person go get checked, it’s worth it.”
The timing of “Key Of You” is especially significant, arriving during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March. Through this release, Kevin hopes not only to celebrate enduring love, but also to raise awareness about the importance of early detection.
At its core, “Key Of You” is a love song. But in this season of reflection and awareness, it also stands as a testament to resilience, gratitude, faith and the gift of love and life.
As a songwriter and musician, Kevin passed his passion for music on to his sons, Nick, Joe and Kevin Jr., helping lay the foundation for the success of the Jonas Brothers. Today, that same spirit of family and purpose continues through Jonas Group Entertainment and his family restaurant, Nellie’s Southern Kitchen.
“Key Of You” will be available on all digital streaming platforms on March 13.
