1. It's My Life
It's My Life rilis tahun 2000 lalu. Ditulis oleh Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, dan Max Martin, lagu ini berhasil merajai 10 besar tangga lagu di berbagai negara meski tidak di Amerika Serikat. Di Amerika Serikat `It's My Life` hanya mencapai nomor 33.
Berkat lagu ini Bon Jovi menjadi salah satu dari sedikit band rock era 1980-an yang berhasil kembali populer di era 2000-an. `It's My Life` juga disebut-sebut sebagai lagu Bon Jovi pasca era 1980-an yang paling populer hingga kini.
Lirik:
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

2. Have A Nice Day
2. Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day rilis pada 2005 lalu sebagai lagu andalan dari album mereka yang berjudul sama. Album tersebut sukses berat, mencapai angka penjualan platinum kala itu. `Have A Nice Day` juga mendapat komentar beragam dari kritikus musik, umumnya menyebut bahwa Bon Jovi telah sangat berkembang jauh dari segi gaya penulisan lirik.
`Have A Nice Day` sendiri merupakan lagu yang berpesan positif dari sudut pandang manapun kita mencernanya, baik harafiah maupun tidak. Namun secara umum, "Have A Nice" disini adalah suatu cara mengakhiri pembicaraan, yang bermaksud menekankan betapa tidak perlunya berdebat secara berlebihan dan pentingnya mengedepankan toleransi.
Lirik:
Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy lived the lie, that's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away.
Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day
Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems
We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams,
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Anybody brave enough to take a stand,
I've knocked on every door, on every dead end street,
Looking for forgiveness,
what's left to believe?
Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
[Guitar Solo]
Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
When The world keeps trying, to drag me down,
I gotta raise my hands, I'm gonna stand my ground.
Well I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day
3. All About Lovin' You
3. All About Lovin' You
All About Lovin' You merupakan salah satu lagu Bon Jovi yang lahir di era 2000-an. Lagu ini termasuk ke dalam album mereka Bounce.
Meski tak sepopuler lagu Bon Jovi lainnya, All About Lovin' You adalah salah satu lagu cinta paling keren yang dimiliki oleh band asal New Jersey tersebut. Seperti tergambar dalam video musiknya, dimana seorang lelaki nekat terjun payung dari atas gedung untuk melamar kekasihnya, All About Lovin' You adalah sebuah lagu yang tepat untuk melamar kekasih Anda.
Lirik:
Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we've come this far
The answer's written in my eyes
[Chorus:]
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby
We've been to hell and back again
Through it all you're always my best friend
For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do
Tonight I'm gonna find a way
[Chorus:]
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
You can take this world away
You're everything I am
Just read the lines upon my face
I'm all about lovin' you
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus:]
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
All about lovin' you

4. I'll Be There For you
4. I'll Be There For You
I'll Be There For You merupakan salah satu lagu power ballad Bon Jovi yang lahir di era 1980-an. Termasuk ke dalam album New Jersey yang rilis 1998 silam, lagu ini sempat menjadi juara tangga lagu Billboard Hot 100.
Yang unik dari lagu ini, I'll Be There For You oleh sebagian kalangan dianggap memiliki kesamaan alias menjiplak hits lawas milik The Beatles, Don't Let Me Down terutama di bagian chorus.
Lirik:
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
you say true love is suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
[Solo]
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
Darling, you give love a bad name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
Oh, oh, you're a loaded gun (yeah)
Oh, oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
[Chorus:]
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part
And you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Oh, oh, you're a loaded gun
Oh, oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
[Chorus:]
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part
And you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love... ah!
Oh!
[Chorus:]
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part
And you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part
And you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
