For anyone who missed it, Jesse McCartney released a new song recently and it is an absolute TUNE. If you haven't heard it yet, here it is:
I'm swooning. Yep, he's still got it. And honestly, he never lost it. Here are a few moments over the years when Jesse was the ultimate heartthrob / musical genius that we all know and love.
1. Beautiful Soul
Let's start with his biggest hit. Beautiful Soul was his breakthrough single, and for most of us, it was the moment we found our newest obsession. We all wanted to be the girl in this music video and have our moment in that pool with him. Also, I just want to point out that this song came out in 2004, which was 14 years ago... feel old yet?
2. The Hannah Montana Episode
Jesse guest-starring on Hannah Montana was a huge deal for every Jesse McCartney fan out there. I still don't understand how Miley and Lilly turned Jesse down just to work on a school project about earthworms...
3. Summerland
Jesse showed his more adventurous side when he starred in the TV show Summerland. His character, Bradin, coped with his parents' death by partying and dating around. But we all loved this "bad boy" version of Jesse, so of course, we watched every single episode.
4. Just So You Know
This is the epitome of what a third wheel looks like. Although I have no idea why someone would not want to date Jesse McCartney. I mean, just look at his fancy flip phone!
5. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody Episode
Working at the Tipton would be great for many reasons, but the best perk would be sneaking into Jesse McCartney's hotel room and getting unexpected hugs from him.
6. Dream Street
We're throwing it wayyyy back with this one. Dream Street is where Jesse started his singing career. You can tell that he was born to sing, even from an early age. Just listen to those vocals at 2:21 if you don't believe me.
7. Leavin'
I remember being so surprised by how racy this video was when it came out. Jesse started molding out of his Disney-friendly persona and into what he wanted his music career to look like, and I was here for it.
8. Young and Hungry
Jesse plays a nerdy tech genius on the show Young and Hungry, alongside Emily Osment. It looks like Lilly finally got over her fangirl stage and can now say more to him than just the word "eep".
9. Army Wives
Jesse's long hair was his signature look back in the day, but for his role in the Lifetime show Army Wives, he proves that he looks good with short hair too. The uniform isn't so bad either.
10. She's No You
This chart-topper was on every girl's iPod Shuffle. That angelic voice telling us that we were more beautiful than any girl on a magazine was the ultimate confidence booster.
11. Punch Drunk Recreation
I don't know where Jesse learned all of those dance moves, but I do know that I want to be invited to the next house party he throws. I also hope his watch was waterproof.
12. Shake
So many questions about this one. Where did all of these girls come from? Where did they buy those boots? Who is the "Cali Shorty" that's calling Jesse? What brand is their glittery/holographic lipstick?
I hope you enjoyed this walk down Fangirl Lane. Be on the lookout for Jesse's sixth album, which, from the looks of it, is going to be just as great as his previous works.
