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.

Too Much Too Soon
Bon Jovi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's always bringin' me down
I still keep comin' back for more
And like an addiction
One is never enough
I'm like a junkie at your door
Is like getting high and coming down
My heart's on a string
I've been blind to the sting
Getting much, too much of a good thing
I came to your party
And stayed a little too late
You woke me naked on the floor
You are my strongest weakness
And I don't want nothin' else
You got the fix I'm looking for
Too much of a good thing
Will turn your whole world upside down
My heart's on a string
I've been blind to the sting
Getting much, too much of a good thing
She's my favorite disease
Makes me crawl on my knees
Getting much, too much of a good thing
Like you partied all night
And you're too trashed from drinking
The only way out is another shot glass to sink in
Tell me, baby, what will it take
'Cause I keep makin' the same mistakes
My heart's on a string
I've been blind to the sting
Getting much, too much of a good thing
And I know it's no good
Yeah, I'd quit if I could
Getting much, too much
Getting much, too much
Oh, it's just too much of a good thing

Line by Line Meaning
Love is like quicksand
Love can be dangerous and pull you down
It's always bringin' me down
Love has been causing problems for me
I still keep comin' back for more
Despite the negative effects, I am still drawn to love
And like an addiction
Love can be compared to an addiction
One is never enough
I always want more love
I'm like a junkie at your door
I am like a drug addict seeking more love from you
Too much of a good thing
When you have too much of something good, it can be bad
Is like getting high and coming down
Having too much love is like the high you get from drugs and the subsequent crash
My heart's on a string
My emotions are vulnerable and subject to your control
I've been blind to the sting
I haven't realized the negative effects of too much love
Getting much, too much of a good thing
I've been receiving more love than I can handle
I came to your party
I went to be with you
And stayed a little too late
I spent too much time with you
You woke me naked on the floor
I was so caught up in love that I lost control
You are my strongest weakness
You have power over me
And I don't want nothin' else
I only want to be with you
You got the fix I'm looking for
Your love is what I need
Will turn your whole world upside down
Too much love can have a negative impact on your life
She's my favorite disease
I am addicted to this love even though it's not good for me
Makes me crawl on my knees
This love has a powerful hold on me
Like you partied all night
I have been indulging in this love excessively
And you're too trashed from drinking
I am overwhelmed by the impact of too much love
The only way out is another shot glass to sink in
The only way to cope with the negative effects of this love is to continue indulging in it
Tell me, baby, what will it take
I am asking you to help me overcome this addiction to love
'Cause I keep makin' the same mistakes
I continue to make bad choices when it comes to love
And I know it's no good
I am aware of the negative impact of this love
Yeah, I'd quit if I could
I want to stop loving you but I can't
Oh, it's just too much of a good thing
The love I have for you is excessive and causing more problems than good
