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.

Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
Bon Jovi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong?
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
Just can't hold a job, where do I belong?
Been sleeping in my car, my dreams move on
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better, but at least I'm getting paid
And Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Now I can't say my name or tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone else's soul, someone else's face
Oh, Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Saturday night
Here we go
Some day I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doin' all right
It may not be tomorrow, baby, that's OK
I ain't goin' down, I'm gonna find a way, hey, hey
Hey, man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I'm gonna live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night, oh
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh
Saturday night, yeah
All right, all right
Saturday night, yeah
The lyrics to Bon Jovi's song Someday I'll Be Saturday Night speak to the struggles that many people face. The song follows the lives of three individuals: Jim, who has fallen on hard times and is sleeping in his car; Billy Jean, who was taken advantage of and forced into the street life; and the singer themselves, who is down on their luck and feeling like a Monday. Despite their hardships, they continue to take each day as it comes and hold onto hope that someday things will get better - someday they'll be Saturday night.
The song's lyrics are all about hope and perseverance. Each of the characters in the song has faced adversity, but they keep going, believing that someday they'll get where they want to be. The chorus, "Hey man, I'm alive, I'm taking each day and night at a time / I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night" is a rallying cry for those struggling to keep going. It encourages people to keep pushing forward, one day at a time, and to keep hoping for a better future.
Overall, Someday I'll Be Saturday Night is a song about finding hope in difficult times. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost, alone or overwhelmed, and reminds them that they are not alone, and that things will get better. The song's powerful message, coupled with its catchy melody, has made it a beloved classic among Bon Jovi fans and music lovers alike.

This song helped carry me through my worst depression which lasted a year from late 2003-2004. By the grace of God I made it and while I still have depression and anxiety from time to time, it’s never been that bad. Listening to this song really helps me when I’m feeling down.
@markmike7933
You're not a lone, believe me. I'm 55. Can't count the 100s of dark days since 14.
But a lot of light days in between.
We wake up and we keep fighting.
Good luck
