New Bon Jovi song Born Again Tomorrow, new #THINFS release date


The studio version of "Born Again Tomorrow", which made its live debut at the TIDAL X: Bon Jovi show at Count Basie Theater, is now available. If you've pre-ordered This House Is Not For Sale on iTunes, the track should already be waiting for you. (And if you pre-order now, you should get access to "Born Again Tomorrow", as well as "Labor of Love", "Knockout", and title track "This House Is Not For Sale".)

You can also listen to "Born Again Tomorrow" on Spotify if you don't want to pre-order the album.



This is the second "live your life" song on the album after "Knockout". I prefer "Born Again Tomorrow". But I've mentioned my dislike for "Knockout" plenty of times for a track that's been out less than a month, and I respect that it has its fans.

Here are the lyrics to "Born Again Tomorrow", which was written by Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks, and Billy Falcon:

If you were born again tomorrow (born again tomorrow)

This ain't a test, no, it's a warning
Ain't gonna say the sky is falling
You gotta read between the lines, stop waiting for a sign
Who's gonna live your life?
Yeah, you don't have to look back to see where we are
The future's looking brighter than a handful of stars
You gotta hold on, hold on
Be strong

If you were born again tomorrow
Would you live your life like yesterday?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way

Don't have to end up where you started
Heaven loves the broken hearted
You learn from your mistakes, bones grow stronger where they break
Who says that scars don't fade?
Yeah, you don't have to look back to see where we are
The future's looking brighter than a handful of stars
You gotta hold on, hold on
You gotta be strong

If you were born again tomorrow
Would you live your life like yesterday?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way
Would you relive every moment?
Would you tear out any page?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way
Any other way
Any other way

If you were born again tomorrow
Would you live your life like yesterday?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way
Would you relive every moment?
Would you tear out any page?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way
Any other way (born again tomorrow)
If you were born again tomorrow (born again tomorrow)


Previously scheduled for release on October 21, This House Is Not For Sale will now drop on November 4. The new date avoids a clash with the release of Lady Gaga's new album, thus giving Bon Jovi a better chance of scoring a Billboard number-one. (That's not the official reason for the postponement, but the speculation makes sense.)

As announced on Ellen, the tour will kick off in February 2017. Check the Bon Jovi site for the first leg of dates.


Do you like "Born Again Tomorrow"? Are you looking forward to the tour?

  3. I have preordered new Bon Jovi album, but have a strong intend to make the same with new Lady Gaga CD. I like both. :)

  4. I feel the message in this song is not the same as the 'Live Your Life' songs (including "Knockout") that have appeared on every post-These Days album. Those songs have a 'live life to the fullest and don't look back' message, while "Born Again Tomorrow" has a message of 'If you could start your life over, what would you change, if anything?'

    Of the four songs that have had studio tracks released, this one is definitely my favorite. Although based on the live performances, "Reunion" and "Come on Up to Our House" will probably become my favorite when the full album releases.

    On a completely different note, have you heard the WAN outtake "Burn With Me" that just surfaced on Youtube a couple days ago?

    1. That's true, it's not precisely the same message. It also has an EDM-influenced sound that the previous "live your life" songs didn't have.

      I did hear Burn With Me. A post is coming soon. :)
