In 1984 and 1985, Bon Jovi released their first two albums and their debut single "Runaway" managed to crack the Top 40. In 1986, the band achieved widespread success and global recognition with their third album, Slippery When Wet, which sold over 20 million copies and included three Top 10 singles, two of which reached No. 1 ("You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer") Their fourth album, New Jersey (1988), was also very successful, selling over 10 million copies and featuring five Top 10 singles (a record for a glam metal album), two of which reached No. 1 ("Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You"). After the band toured and recorded extensively during the late 1980s, culminating in the 1988–1990 New Jersey Tour, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora released successful solo albums in 1990 and 1991, respectively.
In 1992, the band returned with the double-platinum Keep the Faith. This was followed by their biggest-selling and longest-charting single "Always" (1994) and the album These Days (1995), which proved to be a bigger success in Europe than in the United States, producing four Top Ten singles in the United Kingdom. Following a second hiatus, their 2000 album Crush, particularly the lead single, "It's My Life", successfully introduced the band to a younger audience, and the band considered this their comeback album. The band followed up with Bounce in 2002. The platinum albums Have a Nice Day (2005) and Lost Highway (2007) saw the band incorporate elements of country music into some of the songs, including the 2006 single "Who Says You Can't Go Home", which won the band a Grammy Award and became the first single by a rock band to reach No. 1 on the country charts. The Circle (2009) marked a return to the band's rock sound. The band also enjoyed great success touring, with both the 2005–2006 Have a Nice Day Tour and 2007–2008 Lost Highway Tour ranking among the Top 20 highest-grossing concert tours of the 2000s. After recording and releasing Because We Can in 2013, lead guitarist Richie Sambora left the band just before an April concert during the supporting tour to spend more time with his family. The band released their first studio album without Sambora, Burning Bridges, in 2015 and the follow-up album This House Is Not for Sale in 2016, the tour for which encompassed 2017–2019. Their most recent album 2020 (2020) was re-worked to include songs inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests; its supporting tour was delayed to 2022.
Bon Jovi consisting of frontman Jon Bon Jovi, drummer Tico Torres, keyboardist David Bryan, lead guitarist Phil X, bassist Hugh McDonald and guitarist John Shanks have unveiled a video for the lead single “Legendary” from their upcoming studio album Forever, which will be released on June 7, 2024. Forever is the follow up to Bon Jovi‘s studio album 2020, which was released back on October 2, 2020.
Bon Jovi has released 15 studio albums, five compilations and three live albums. They have sold more than 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling American rock bands, and performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans. Bon Jovi was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. The band received the Award of Merit at the American Music Awards in 2004, and Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora were inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2009.

Bon Jovi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you know my whereabouts?
Do you know what I'm all about?
Through the static
You're so close, so far away
Are you listening? I'm desperate
Sendin' out an S-O-S
Throw a lifeline, I'm down here
Drownin' in the deepest part of me
Satellite
Can you feel me?
Satellite
Come and heal me
Are you watchin' over me tonight?
I need to know you're out there
Your lines open and receiving?
You know I got so much to say
I just don't wanna fade away
Keep on talkin' 'cause you're keepin' me alive
Satellite
Can you feel me?
Satellite
Come and heal me
Are you watchin' over me tonight?
I need to know you're out there
Everybody hurts
Everybody cries
Everybody needs someone
To save them sometimes
Everybody hurts
Everybody cries
Everybody needs someone
To save them sometimes
Save them sometimes
Satellite
Can you feel me?
Satellite
Come and heal me
Satellite
Can you feel me?
Satellite
Come and heal me
Are you watchin' over me tonight?
I need to know you're out there

The song "Satellite" by Bon Jovi is an emotional plea to someone out there in the world who might be listening. The song's opening lyrics ask if anyone can hear the singer, and even if they know what he's all about. The singer is feeling alone and isolated, and the only thing keeping him going is the hope that someone is out there listening to him. He's sending out an S-O-S because he's lost and needs help. He feels like he's drowning and needs someone to throw him a lifeline.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the word "Satellite." The singer is asking the satellite if it can feel him and come to heal him. He's asking if the satellite is watching over him tonight, and he needs to know that someone is out there. The bridge of the song emphasizes the universal need for human connection. Everybody hurts, cries, and needs someone to save them sometimes.
Overall, "Satellite" is a song about loneliness and the need for someone to listen to us sometimes. It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we're not alone, and there's someone out there who cares.
Line by Line Meaning
Are you out there? Can you hear me?
Do you know my location and could you perceive what I'm trying to say?
Do you know what I'm all about?
Do you comprehend what I stand for or what motivates me?
Through the static, you're so close, so far away
Despite the distortions, you're in close range yet you still seem so distant
Are you listening? I'm desperate
Are you paying attention to me because I'm in dire need?
Sendin' out an S-O-S, 'cause I'm lost, I must confess
I'm sending an emergency call for assistance because I'm feeling disoriented, and I need to admit it
Throw a lifeline, I'm down here, drownin' in the deepest part of me
Please extend me a helping hand, for I'm sinking in the depths of my emotions, and I need you to save me
Satellite, can you feel me? Satellite, come and heal me
I'm hoping my thoughts seep into your system so that you can understand me better and help to mend my pain
Are you watchin' over me tonight? I need to know you're out there
Could it be possible that you're keeping an eye on me even as the night grows older? I crave to perceive your presence.
Your lines open and receiving?
Are you available and free to communicate with me?
I just don't wanna fade away
I don't want to fade into insignificance or end up being forgotten
Keep on talkin' 'cause you're keepin' me alive
I'm still alive because you keep up a conversation with me and keep me distracted from the darkness that weighs on me
Everybody hurts, everybody cries, everybody needs someone to save them sometimes
We all experience pain, tears, and times when we require some form of assistance from others
Satellite
This is a repeated plea for help from someone that's imagined to be a satellite
