Bon Jovi gained a new generation of fans in 2000 with their hit single “It’s My Life,” which became the band’s highest-charting song since their string of hits in the 1980s and ’90s. Now, more than twenty years later, “It’s My Life” is getting refreshed in the form of “Now or Never,” a remix led by Miami-born artist Pitbull.
The Remix Unveiled and Its Deeper Meaning
Pitbull first hinted at the remix when he brought Jon Bon Jovi on stage during a concert in September. “Now or Never” offers an upbeat, dance-ready reworking of the Bon Jovi classic, fitting seamlessly into Pitbull’s energetic music style. But the remix isn’t just about fun. Pitbull also takes a moment to reflect on his journey and the importance of resilience.
“The world’s always comin’ to an end / Don’t let it scare you out of livin’ / Look at me, mama, against all odds, your little baby boy did it,” Pitbull raps on the track. “Every day I say thank you / Every day I give thanks, every day’s Thanksgiving.”
The song comes out as Pitbull and Jon Bon Jovi are set to perform at the 25th annual Latin Grammy Awards in Pitbull’s hometown of Miami. While Pitbull is familiar with the Latin Grammys, it will be Bon Jovi’s first time at the event.
