The Jonas Brothers previously released the song “I Can’t Lose” with an accompanying music video, in support of the charity Stand Up to Cancer in partnership with Mastercard. The single was described as “a song about love, strength and showing up for the people you love.” The Jonas Brothers said in a statement: “Teaming up with Mastercard to uplift fans who’ve found hope and healing in our music means so much to us. ’I Can’t Lose’ is a song we hope can carry different meanings for everyone who hears it and, for those who need it, a reminder of their own strength.” The music video shows the band performing for a group of fans on a rooftop; check it out: HERE.
The “Stand Up To Cancer’ special will air live from Nashville on over 30 platforms across the U.S. on Aug. 15, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT. All four major U.S. broadcast networks will carry the show, with broadcasters donating prime time slots to support the cause.
