[Nick Jonas](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:NickJonas,00.html), [one-time JoBro](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20750712,00.html) and [man of a thousand abs](http://www.people.com/article/nick-jonas-shirtless-photos-brothers-kevin-joe), made a very special house call when he “hijacked” the alcohol delivery app Saucey in Los Angeles – not just bringing booze to a bunch of unsuspecting people, but then playing them some music.

“He did ‘Jealous’ and ‘Chains’ and everyone sang along. Everyone was so excited and he served each customer their first drink when they got in the room before he played,” a source tells PEOPLE.

Or as some of those same house guests [said on Instagram](https://instagram.com/p/0wrPVQypAr/): “Nick Jonas just casually playing ‘Jealous’ for me. After we shared a bottle of wine. IS THIS LIFE????? Thank you Saucey, Nick, and the universe.”


So how did this come to be?

“This was unplanned,” a rep for Saucey tells PEOPLE. “Nick is an investor in Saucey and wanted to meet some of the customers.”

Next, the 22-year-old will host Saturday’s Kids’ Choice Awards. [And he can’t wait to get slimed](http://www.people.com/article/nick-jonas-host-kids-choice-awards-slimed).
