"These Days" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. It was released in February 26, 1996, as the fourth single from their sixth studio album, These Days (1995).
Background[edit]
"These Days" showcases the darker tone that Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora’s lyrics sought to achieve with the album. The song which begins with a haunting piano progression, deals with homelessness, loss of innocence and the difficulty of keeping up a relationship in the modern age. It is about people out there trying to be understood, to live their dreams.[citation needed] The single peaked at number seven in the United Kingdom and reached the top-10 in Lithuania.
