Bon Jovi's signature and popular songs — recommended masterpieces (31–40)
It’s My LifeBon Jovi
Released in May 2000, this is Bon Jovi’s 31st single, and it is also included on their seventh studio album, Crush, released in June the same year.
The song’s lyrics convey the message that you carve out your own life through your own strength, encouraging listeners to hold onto their convictions and never give up in the face of any hardship.
Livin’ On A PlayerBon Jovi
It’s a massive hit by Bon Jovi, the iconic American hard rock band.
This classic packs the upbeat, all-American energy and the unique coolness that only Bon Jovi can deliver.
I especially recommend it to middle schoolers who want to wake up in style with some rock from the morning.
Forbidden LoveBon Jovi
Among the Bon Jovi songs people in their 40s used to listen to, I think this is the one that gets everyone most hyped.
If you mention Tsubaki Oniyako’s song, younger people might recognize it—that song.
From the opening shout of “Shot through the heart,” it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.
I’ll Be There For YouBon Jovi
A U.S.
hit from the 1988 album New Jersey that catapulted Bon Jovi to stardom.
Looking back now, how young Jon Bon Jovi was with his long hair! It’s a quintessential love ballad, sung romantically straight to the camera with the promise, “I’ll always be there for you.”
I’ll Be There For YouBon Jovi
This is a relatively modern-sounding track that’s very popular with the kids.
The lyric ‘true love is the same as committing suicide’ really hits home.

Greatest HitsBon Jovi
This is the best-of album by Bon Jovi, the American rock band that captivated the world from the ’80s through the ’90s.
It features timeless classics like “Livin’ On A Prayer” and “It’s My Life.” Released in 2010, this collection also includes four new tracks infused with the band’s spirit.
With a sound that epitomizes classic rock and lyrics filled with uplifting messages about life, it captures the true essence of Western pop/rock.
Perfect as background music for driving or housework, and sure to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down.
An ideal pick for anyone making their debut into English-language music.
Right Side Of WrongBon Jovi
Bounce, a masterpiece album released in 2002, balances hard, heavy tracks with beautiful ballads.
Though it can seem somewhat understated sandwiched between the massive hits Crush and Have a Nice Day, the songs collected here are uniformly high quality.
The ballads, in particular, are outstanding, and Right Side of Wrong is a prime example.
Built around piano accompaniment and strings, it’s a grand composition capped by a fiery, dramatic guitar solo.
The tasteful, conversational vocal melody is first-rate as well.
The music video, which intercuts band performance with a drama-style narrative, is also worth checking out—be sure to watch it alongside the track!
