**Bon Jovi Announces New Album, “American Mercy,” and Releases First Single, “Heaven Ain’t Far From Here”**
Legendary rock band **Bon Jovi** is back with a powerful new statement of hope, grit, and resilience. The group has officially announced their forthcoming studio album, *American Mercy*, set for release in early 2027. Accompanying the announcement is the release of their soaring lead single, *“Heaven Ain’t Far From Here,”* which is already generating major buzz among fans and critics alike.
The album marks Bon Jovi’s return to the heartland rock and Americana influences that first made them global icons in the ’80s and ’90s, while introducing a modern lyrical sensitivity reflecting the band’s evolution and frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s recent personal and artistic introspection.
*“American Mercy is about the soul of this country—the pain, the promise, and the people who carry on through it all,”* said Jon Bon Jovi in a press statement. *“It’s the most personal and passionate record we’ve made in years.”*
*“Heaven Ain’t Far From Here”* is a stadium-sized anthem that blends acoustic grit with electric urgency, featuring powerful lyrics about finding faith in the everyday struggles of ordinary lives. The accompanying music video, shot in Nashville and Detroit, pays homage to working-class communities and those who persist through hardship with heart and dignity.
Produced by **John Shanks** and featuring longtime Bon Jovi collaborators **Tico Torres** and **David Bryan**, the album also includes guest appearances by **Bruce Springsteen** and rising country-rock star **Lainey Wilson**, promising a wide-ranging sonic journey through hope, loss, redemption, and renewal.
Bon Jovi is set to promote *American Mercy* with a world tour beginning summer 2027, with stops in North America, Europe, and South America already announced.
🎵 *“Heaven Ain’t Far From Here”* is now available on all streaming platforms, and fans can pre-order *American Mercy* through the band’s official website.
