Bon Jovi announces new release date for ‘Bon Jovi 2020’, share new single ‘Do What You Can’

Bon Jovi has announced a new release date for their upcoming new album ‘Bon Jovi 2020’.

Originally set to be released on May 15, the follow-up to 2016’s ‘This House Is Not for Sale’ was “a completed album with a breadth and depth of songwriting, titled for a challenging and pivotal election year,” NME reports, citing a press release.

However, frontman Jon Bon Jovi, like the rest of the world, found himself unexpectedly experiencing a world-altering coronavirus pandemic, followed quickly by the staggering events of George Floyd’s death and the ensuing movement for racial equality.

The experience led him to record two new songs: ‘American Reckoning’ and the newly released ‘Do What You Can’, which both follow the album’s first single, ‘Limitless’.

In April, the band revealed that ‘Do What You Can’ had been written by Jon Bon Jovi with submissions and lyric suggestions from fans.

“I am a witness to history,” said Bon Jovi. “I believe the greatest gift of an artist is the ability to use their voice to speak to issues that move us.”
