"When You Look Me in the Eyes" is a song by the American boy band Jonas Brothers. The song was released as the band's third single from their self-titled second album, "Jonas Brothers", in 2007. In the UK it will be released as a AA side with Burnin' Up.

There are two versions of the song, featuring different lyrics and production: the first was released on Nicholas Jonas's solo album, "Nicholas Jonas" (Joe and Kevin Jonas feature on the song, and Kevin plays guitar), and the second was released on the album "Jonas Brothers". Jason Nevins produced a dance remix of the latter version for promotional release.

The band's Look Me in the Eyes Tour was named after the song, their current single at the time of the tour.
