After being signed to Columbia, the brothers considered naming their group "Sons of Jonas" before settling on the name "Jonas Brothers."[30] Throughout 2005, the Jonas Brothers had gone on several tours, opening for various artists including, Jump5, Kelly Clarkson, Jesse McCartney, the Backstreet Boys, and The Click Five.[10][31] They spent the latter portion of the ano on an anti-drug tour with Aly & AJ and The Cheetah Girls.[31][32] Additionally, they opened for The Veronicas in early 2006.[19] For the album, titled It's About Time, the band collaborated with several writers, including Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), Michael Mangini (Joss Stone), Desmond Child (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi), Billy Mann (Destiny's Child, Jessica Simpson) and Steve Greenberg.[32] The album was initially supposed to be released in February 2006, but was pushed back several times.[19][28][31][32] The delay was due to executive changes at Sony (the parent company of Columbia) and the executives' desire to have "another lead single" on the album. For the album, the Jonas Brothers covered two hit songs por UK band Busted – "Year 3000" and "What I Go to School For".[27]
