"Champagne Problems" is a song recorded by American singer Nick Jonas from his third studio album, Last Year Was Complicated. It was released on April 8, 2016, by Island, Safehouse and Republic Records as the album's first promotional single. The song was written by Nick Jonas, Jason Evigan, Sean Douglas, Jonathan Tucker, and PJ Bianco.
On March 24, 2016, Jonas announced the song as part of the track list of his new album.[2] On April 8, 2016, Nick Jonas released "Champagne Problems" as the first promotional single of the record. A short teaser was released by him online on April 7. In an interview he said that the song "is about sharing a bottle of champagne with my now ex as we were breaking up to kind of close that chapter. It was sad and slightly sweet at the same time. It was a range of emotions and feelings and I think this song, although it sounds like a party song, actually has some of the deepest lyrics on the record".[3] [4]
Caroline Menyes of Music Times said that the song was a little bit more of a dance-friendly track. Featuring Jonas' signature smooth falsetto and club-friendly beats, this song is begging to be played on Friday nights.[5] Idolator's Carl Williott said that with its electro-disco-funk breakdown at the chorus and a surprising trap&B bridge, there are a lot of moving parts but they all work in service of a breathless party hook.[6]
The music video, directed by Colin Tilley was released on November 7, 2016. The video shows Jonas being surrounded by many women in a night club before he parts ways with his girlfriend.[7]
Jonas performed the song live on Saturday Night Live on April 16, 2016.[8] On June 10 he performed the song live on Today.[9] The song is part of the setlist of the Future Now Tour.[10]
