Album info[]

The title of the album, "A Little Bit Longer," comes from their song of the same name, which Nick Jonas wrote about his dealings with having Type One Diabetes. The album artwork was released by Team Jonas, the Jonas Brothers' official fan club, to fan club members via an e-mail newsletter on June 20, 2008.

Like their last album, this one also features CDVU+ technology[2] that includes more than 30 pages of bonus features with exclusive video performance, 60 printable photos, complete album lyrics, downloadable graphics, and hidden links. In addition, the packaging of the album is made from 100% recycled materials.

On August 5, 2008, A Little Bit Longer was put up on MTV's The Leak[3] where one could listen to the album before it was released. The brothers performed their second single, "Lovebug" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
