By the Numbers
Forever is Bon Jovi's sixteenth studio album, an upbeat and optimistic record co-written largely by Jon Bon Jovi and producer John Shanks along with other collaborators. Jon Bon Jovi wrote and recorded the album as he recovered from 2022 vocal-cord surgery, and the sessions doubled as a way to test and rebuild his voice. "Legendary" served as the bright, anthemic lead single ahead of the album's June 2024 release. The record reached number five on the Billboard 200 and topped the chart in Switzerland.
Most recent album, co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi and John Shanks. The broadest array of outside collaborators in the catalog: Ryan Tedder (tracks 2, 5), Jason Isbell (track 4), Ed Sheeran (track 10), and Philip Lawrence (track 8). Jon Bon Jovi writes four tracks solo. Billy Falcon co-writes tracks 6 and 9.
