And while Lovato said she’s had a blast on tour with the Jonases, there have been a few moments when she wanted to crawl under a rock and hide.

“I fell at a show this one time,” she laughed. “Actually, I’ve fallen several times — like, four times already. But this one time I fell, it was the only one that made Perez Hilton and YouTube. I didn’t think anything of it when it happened. I just laughed it off onstage. But the next day, I see that it hit the Internet, and I was like, ‘Nooooooo.’ It totally stung, because I wasn’t expecting it. But I didn’t get hurt, and Joe [Jonas] helped me out a lot with that. He made a ton of jokes about it.”

The Jonases are good like that. They’re there to help lighten the mood during very public, highly embarrassing moments, but they’re also reliable friends, who helped Lovato perfect the songs that comprise her forthcoming LP, Don’t Forget, which hits stores September 23.

“I did a duet with the Jonas Brothers on my album, and we wrote the song together,” Lovato explained. “It’s like a breakup song, and it’s called ‘On the Line.’ [It was important to have them on my album] because, I mean, just look at how successful they are. I would love to have their input anytime, because they’re obviously doing something right.”

While she wrote the material for Don’t Forget, an album she tracked in just 10 days, Lovato said she ultimately needed that Jonas touch.
