New Bon Jovi Song: Jon Puts Out First New Music in Almost Four Years

Written By Mike Greenblatt

Recorded in a Nashville church, “Christmas Isn’t Christmas” is the first new music from Bon Jovi since  the release of the band’s 15th album 2020.

 “I wrote a song two years ago called `Christmas Isn’t Christmas,’” says Jon Bon. “It was a tough day in the house, my dad and my mom were both taken ill. And I wrote this as a gift to my parents and my children. The gift was Christmas bringing everyone together. And while we weren’t all together, we could only be there in our memories and in our thoughts and in our prayers. I hope you like it as much as we do.”
