“Who Says You Can't Go Home” by Bon Jovi

"Who Says You Can't Go Home" is Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora writing a big-hearted heartland rock singalong for Have a Nice Day, the band's ninth album, in 2005. The pair produced it with John Shanks, Desmond Child served as executive producer and Chris Lord-Alge mixed it, with Sambora on guitar, David Bryan on keyboards, Hugh McDonald on bass and Tico Torres on drums.

The song led a double life. A duet version with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland went out to country radio and climbed all the way to number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, and both takes made the album, the band's version at track four and the duet closing the record. In North America it was the second single, in March 2006, peaking at 23 on the Hot 100; elsewhere it came third and reached five in the UK.
