"Live" and "Livin'" are in there, but not the phrase. Is it rephrased in the form "Life is worth livin'" or "We've got a life to live!" or something along those lines? ;) Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

Here's a little trip down memory lane regarding lead single lyrics this past decade from Bon Jovi! ;) * "It's my life It's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just wanna live while I'm alive."- "It's My Life" (2000) * "I'm gonna touch the sky And I spread these wings and fly I ain't here to play I'm gonna live my life everyday."- "Everyday" (2002) * "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 a lie, it's just the price that he paid Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away
Ooh, 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."- "Have A Nice Day" (2005) * "We weren't born to follow Come on and get up off your knees When life is a bitter pill to swallow You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow And that your saints and sinners bleed We weren't born to follow You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah."- "We Weren't Born To Follow" (2009) * * Really, the only lead single they've had not to refer to the carpe diem/live-your-life-to-the-fullest-regardless-of-what-others-may-think theme was 2007's "(You Want To) Make A Memory". Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

This is my fav single from them since the early 90s lol. Easy Top 10 on Hot AC! Very Catchy & Universal Lyrics, and i love Jon's attitude about living life and having a nice day and apparently millions have now too spanning their 4th decade :)

Bon Jovi are definitely among the top five most potent bands of our time as far as consistent commercial domination is concerned. U2, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC and the Eagles (who are all but disbanding) are the other four. As far as this single is concerned, I'd say: ".......Eh, What Else You Got?" Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I've heard it a few times this week and I actually stopped what I was doing and said to myself "this Bon Jovi song is pretty good."

I was disappointed that 'WWBTF' wasn't the smash at top 40 radio that 'It's My Life' was a decade ago, but I'm really delighted that a GH CD from them is on the way.
This song is terrifc and so is the video, and I'm not surprised that Hot AC would jump all over this very aggressively.
It's going to be a smash, and it's terrific having these guys back on the radio.

I still consider the other listed artists as more popular overall than Metallica. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

And i love U2

Quality is always subjective, but in terms of popularity they are right up there with the biggest Rock bands.

Many of Coldplay's concerts this year failed to sell out. Nickelback usually play arenas, not stadiums. And matchbox twenty indeed play large shows in Australia and in some large venues like Madison Square Garden, but generally they play smaller theaters and arenas. None size up to Bon Jovi in terms of consistently selling out large arenas and stadiums. Only U2, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC and arguably Metallica can size up with them. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

"It's My Life" (which despite being a decent song by itself, was successful solely based on the hype of being a similar-sounding update to their previous stuff) & everything after has been the same, just successively more watered down each time, except for the Lost Highway/Who Says You Can't Go Home era where they veered off *slightly* towards country, and possibly "Misunderstood" but that's really just a more mellow leftover of "Everyday." I don't know how many times they can keep on rehashing the same outdated pointless power pop anthem, and there's only so many times you can hear the DJ introduce it as "the new Bon Jovi song" before it starts getting on your nerves. Sure, they're still selling out stadiums, but that's because their old hits were absolutely massive & have staying power. Not because of "Lost Highway," "Superman Tonight," "Everyday," etc.

Bon Jovi holds a place right now that would belong to Aerosmith if Steven Tyler and friends ever got off their asses this past decade. Their appeal is that they're classic rock, yet they continue to churn out MOR songs so as to keep momentum. They've never broken up, never took too long of a hiatus, and have never veered off into valleys of pop-challenging experimentation.
Bon Jovi, unlike U2, the Stones, and AC/DC are from this country. Bon Jovi is the rock band of corporate America. They break the rules, but they don't really break the rules. They're taking the Eagles spot because the Eagles have released one album in the past 30 years.
Metallica controls a certain section of the market. While their popularity is massive, they've never been able to be called "pop," which is a good thing. They don't want to be.
Coldplay's next album will determine their standing. I don't think they are as big as they can be. Only one song from VLV really broke through here.
Nickelback is a phenomenon I have yet to understand.
Also, what about Dave Matthews Band? They make bank in touring.
