Jon Bon Jovi’s new song is a love letter to his wife.

In a new interview, the singer explained that “I Wrote You a Song” came to him in his sleep. He said,

“I had a notebook next to my bed which I sometimes do when I’m in a place where I’m writing and I know that position well – in your underwear on the side of the bed, asleep with a pen in your hand and scribbling and you wake up to see every single word of that first verse and the melody written.”
