[10] The song "jitters with a funky groove and harmonies intended for a gospel choir" as Nick and Joe sing in the chorus: "No, don't get stressed, it's gon' get figured out / Oh, deep conversations at the Waffle House / Headstrong father and a determined mother / Oh, that's why some nights, we try to kill each other / But you know it's always love".

[11][12] The official music video for "Waffle House", directed by Anthony Mandler, was released during a YouTube live stream hosted by the Jonas Brothers on April 28, 2023.

[18] The brothers performed the song on the fifth night of their Broadway residency, on March 18, 2023, as part of the setlist for The Album.
