Released by: Universal Music Indonesia
Ini satu dari sekian lagu yang enggak butuh intro. Layaknya nyablak, ia langsung muncul menantang dengan chorus yang dijadikan serangan fajarnya. 'Because We Can' adalah single andalan dari album studio ke-12 Bon Jovi, "What About Now". Untuk lagu pemanasan dari sebuah album baru, lagu ini cukup representatif tak hanya menjamu pendengar ke sound di album baru, tapi juga mewakili kebiasaan rock dalam diskografi band.
Bangunan 'Because We Can' lumayan antemik, tak kalah memorable dengan 'It's My Life' ataupun 'You Give Love A Bad Name', meskipun sebenarnya kalah menghentak dari dua track tersebut. Kekuatannya hadir dalam chorus yang memang terprogram dalam melodi yang enggak rumit, ditambah gaya bahasa Jon Bon Jovi yang komunikatif, mengajak pendengar untuk ikutan berdendang bersama dirinya.
Ada benarnya banyak ulasan yang menulis single ini mainstream. Mungkin kesan itu hadir dari keramahan olahan musik rock yang tersaji. Kurang garang. But when one door closes another will open. Meski ia tak menyanggupi persyaratan rock-ability, ia bisa menyusup ke radio dan televisi dengan potensi ramah dengar yang ia punya.
Jangan pernah mau jadi biasa kalau bisa jadi yang luar biasa. 'Because We Can' bilang kalau kita mampu, kenapa enggak. That's another that will probably open, semangat yang bisa menular ke para pendengarnya. So why is it you should listen to this single again? It's simply because you can.

TRACKLIST
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can
She's in the kitchen staring out the window
So tired of living life in black and white
Right now she's missing those technicolor kisses
When he turns down the lights
Lately he's feeling like a broken promise
In the mirror staring down his doubt
There's only one thing in this world that he knows
He said forever and he'll never let her down
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can
TV and takeout on the coffee table
Paper dishes, pour a glass of wine
Turn down the sound and move a little closer
And for the moment everything is alright
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can, our love can move a mountain
We can, if you believe in we
We can, just wrap your arms around me
We can, we can
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can, our love can move a mountain
We can, if you believe in we
We can, just wrap your arms around me
We can, we can
Because we can
