February 18. The track is taken from the band's latest album, "2020", which was released last October via Island Records.
Originally
set for release in May 2020, "2020" was a completed album
with a breadth and depth of songwriting, titled for a challenging and pivotal
election year. Along with all of America, Jon Bon Jovi found himself
unexpectedly experiencing a world-altering coronavirus pandemic, followed
quickly by the staggering events of George Floyd's death and the ensuing
national movement for racial equality. He knew there was even more to say about
2020. Writing from a home studio, two new songs were born: "American
Reckoning" and "Do What You Can" encompass these
events and made the album a complete body of work.
Jon Bon Jovi delves into socially conscious matters such as
soldiers dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder ("Unbroken",
featured in the documentary "To Be Of Service"), gun violence ("Lower
The Flag"), our shared social experience ("Let It Rain", "Brothers
In Arms") and the political climate ("Blood In The Water").
