The song includes direct references to Cyrus, such as the line 'Cause if you recall our anniversary falls 11 nights into June, alluding to the date (June 11, 2006) when the couple first met. Cyrus acknowledged that the song was about her, stating that she felt it was blatant but didn't mind being referenced in the song.

Nick Jonas wrote 'Wedding Bells' about his ex-girlfriend, Miley Cyrus

Nick Jonas wrote the song "Wedding Bells" about his ex-girlfriend, Miley Cyrus. The song was performed for the first time during a Jonas Brothers concert in October 2012, and its lyrics allude to Cyrus's engagement to "Hunger Games" star Liam Hemsworth.

The chorus of "Wedding Bells" includes the lines: "No, I don't wanna love if it's not you, I don't wanna hear the wedding bells prove, that we can't try one last time". The song also contains a direct reference to the date that Jonas and Cyrus met, "Cause if you recall our anniversary falls 11 nights into June". The couple first started dating in June 2006 when they were just 13 years old, and their on-again-off-again relationship lasted for about two years.

Before performing the song in New York, Jonas told the crowd:

> You have to write a song and apologise for it later... I don't know that I've ever written a song that makes me as uncomfortable as this song does... and although it's not the way I feel at this moment in time, hopefully, this gives you a glimpse into what that experience was like for me.

Cyrus confirmed that the song was about her during an interview with Ryan Seacrest, saying:

> I don't know who else is getting married... so I feel like that's pretty blatant, it's whatever... So, you can't ever hate on someone for writing about something you've been through. I think that you kind of get a fair warning when you date an artist and someone that's a writer. When you're going through things that you're going to end up hearing about it on the radio.

The song "Wedding Bells" is not the only time that Jonas and Cyrus have exchanged sentiments through their music. In 2008, Cyrus released "7 Things" about her anger following their breakup, and the ex-couple even collaborated in 2009 to write and record a duet called "Before The Storm", about their relationship and break-up.

The song references the date Nick and Miley met

The song "Wedding Bells" by the Jonas Brothers includes the lyrics, "Cause if you recall our anniversary falls 11 nights into June". This is a direct reference to the date Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus met, which was June 11, 2006. Cyrus revealed this date in her 2009 autobiography, "Miles to Go", where she refers to Nick as "Prince Charming" without saying his name outright.

The song is about Nick's relationship with Miley, whom he dated briefly but seriously in the mid-2000s. It is a love song with a twist, as it revolves around the vocalist's sentimental reaction to the addressee deciding to marry another man. Nick confirmed that he pulled inspiration for the track from his old flame, stating that as an artist, he has to "be open and honest about the fact that your life is what you have to write about sometimes, and pull from your life inspiration".

Miley herself acknowledged that the song was about her, stating that she felt it was blatant but that she didn't mind being alluded to in the song. She also said that she couldn't "hate on someone for writing about something you've been through" and that you get a fair warning when you "date an artist and someone that's a writer".

When you're going through things that you're going to end up hearing about it on the radio. I don't know... wedding bells are in my future, so I don't know.
