I dug a bit. None of the new-er songs have been registered. the source was a post on the BJ reddit page who got their information from genius.com's lyric section sooooo it feels very grain-of-salt-y for now.

I've been looking for some Japanese news.
I've found a few interesting bits.
Blue Moment (Japanese Drama)
Theme Song
Bon Jovi “Legendary”
The drama series releases in April (first episode on April 10th).

Also from universal Japan (translated by Google):
"It won't be long before we can hear the new anthem ``Legendary'' at a concert, which will have the whole venue singing along as one."
...and about the japanese album release:
"Details of domestic edition will be announced at a later date."

so many co-writers... why don't sit down with phil and write a ****ing song to bring a little bit the rock back? i was hoping at least for one jon/phil collaboration it's criminal that jon doesn't include him in the songwriting process
who the **** needs so many jon/shanks or jon/falcon songs?

Judging by The Drills I think Jon and Phil come from a very different place as song writers...

Jon and Phil. But yeah, I don't think it'd match either.
And it's becoming tedious. Bon Jovi only was a rock band 'cause rock was the vehicle to make them popular at the time. And that was 80's / early 90's, so three decades ago. These Days was already more ballads than rock music and from 2000 onwards, it's been pop with diminishing rock elements on each album.
Jon never was about guitar-heavy rock in the first place. Look at the Powerstation demos, that's the kind of music he emulated. The stuff he played with the KOS. And now that Richie's gone, he has no need to find a niche for some guitar sounds he wasn't too keen on in the first place anyway. It's just a fact.
I'm not a big fan of the song either, but Bon Jovi has always been about pop music and anyone who still think they'll come out of the woodworks with a riff-heavy, hard-rocking album is delusional.

When some BJ songs have some co-writers (mostly occasional and new) it means that the major part of the job in the writing process it was made it by them, not Jon right?

You said it much better than I, a few posts ago.

Just perfectly put.

Maybe my thought is against the grain, but i would like also a song co-wrote with Hugh.
