"Teacher" is a song performed by American recording artist Nick Jonas for his eponymous second studio album. It was written by Ammar Malik, Danny Parker, and Jason Evigan, and produced by the latter. It was released as the second promotional single on October 14, 2014. The song is featured in the 2015 dance video game Just Dance 2016.
"Teacher" was written by Ammar Malik, Danny Parker and Jason Evigan, and produced by the latter. The song is an 80's disco-inspired tune. “This game we're playing make me wanna break the rules”, sings Nick in the second verse. "Teacher" is a song where Nick teaches a girl he's really interested in how to properly “love”.
On October 14, 2014, "Teacher", alongside the song "Wilderness", were leaked online. That same day they were made available in Australia on iTunes. One day before the album's release, Jonas released a lyric video of the song. The video shows him and other people with the lyrics of the song on their bodies.
MTV News' John Walker noted that "Taylor Swift's not the only pop star going retro with their new sound. Jonas' new song, “Teacher,” sees the singer going all Gary Numan after dark, infusing a standard bedroom jam with a certain New Wave flare".
Tehrene Firman of Teen Vogue called the song "today's new '80s-inspired".
Bradley Stern of Idolator wrote that "'Right when I think I finally got you figured out, you turn around and blow my mind,' the crooner starts above the song's kicky pulse, giving just a little of that Prince funkiness in the process. Things get even sexier as he heads into the chorus. Sounds like a real smash to us".
