Jonas Brothers (2007-2008)
After shortly being without a label, the Jonas Brothers signed with Hollywood Records in February 2007.[33][34] Around the same time, brothers began appearing in commercials for Baby Bottle Pops, singing the jingle.[34] On March 24, two additional songs on two different albums were released: "Kids of the Future" from the Meet the Robinsons soundtrack[35] (Based on Kim Wilde's "Kids in America"), and "I Wanna Be like You" from DisneyMania 5.[36]
Their self-titled second album, Jonas Brothers, was released on August 7, 2007.[37] It reached number five on the Billboard Hot 200 chart in its first week. Two singles with music videos were also released around this time - "Hold On" two weeks before, and "S.O.S." just after the release of the album.
In August, the Jonas Brothers made several appearances on television. On August 17, they guest-starred in an episode of the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana titled "Me and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas." They also performed "We Got the Party" with Miley Cyrus in the episode, which premiered after High School Musical 2 and was viewed by 10.7 million people that night.[38] On August 24, the Jonas Brothers performed two songs at the Miss Teen USA contest.[39] The following day, the closing ceremonies of the Disney Channel Games was aired, featuring a performance from the Jonas Brothers.

The band filmed a Disney Channel Original Movie called Camp Rock where they play a band called "Connect Three."
