Background

"These Days" showcases the darker tone that Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora’s lyrics sought to achieve with the album. The song which begins with a haunting piano progression, deals with homelessness, loss of innocence and the difficulty of keeping up a relationship in the modern age. It is about people out there trying to be understood, to live their dreams.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Critical reception

Gina Morris from Smash Hits gave the song two out of five, writing, "'These Days' is an up-tempo rock ballad, all about people living sad lives and wanting to be somebody else. He even makes a passing reference to Kurt Cobain."[1]
