Started a job December 16th, got first pay December 31st, do I file taxes for it this upcoming tax season?

Basically, in this almost done year (2019), I had a job from April to June, then another from June to mid-December, both of which were a contract role, hourly rate where I'm paid every two weeks. In mid-December I quit my job and started a new full-time role.

 

My first paycheck for the new role was on the 31st of December 2019 (Paycheck issues and money was deposited into my account on the same day). I know for a fact that in this upcoming tax season I will be filing taxes for the first two jobs I held in 2019. But do I need to file taxes for this recently started one? If yes, then that means I will be filing taxes on a single pay period. Is there a definitive answer to this?

 

* Not sure if relevant, but I have also updated my W-4 on December 30th.

 

TL;DR: Started new job Dec15th, got paid 1st time Dec 31st. Do I file taxes for that on the very upcoming tax season?
