"Wedding Bells" made direct references to Nick's ex-girlfriend
Miley Cyrus, to which Cyrus acknowledged, stating that she felt that it was blatant that the song was about her but that she didn't mind being alluded to in the song. In "Wedding Bells", one of the lyrics are "'Cause if you recall our anniversary falls 11 nights into June", referencing to the date (June 11, 2006); of which Nick and Miley met, which Cyrus revealed in her 2009 autobiography
Miles to Go, where she refers to Nick as "Prince Charming" but does not say his name outright. During the concert in New York, Nick spoke about the song before he started singing it. Nick told the crowd, "You have to write a song and apologize for it later... I don't know that I've ever written a song that makes me as uncomfortable as this song does... and although it's not the way I feel at this moment in time, hopefully this gives you a glimpse into what that experience was like for me." In January, he released a picture of the sheet music on his instagram. On May 21, 2013, a snippet of the studio version was released online. On November 27 of the same year, the full studio version of the song was released online. ==Reception==
