Also, he confirmed that band were planning to release the boxset in 2003, in conjunction with the band's 20th anniversary.<ref name="bon_jovi_planning_new_studio_album_box_set">{{cite magazine|title=Bon Jovi Planning New Studio Album, Box Set |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=2001-05-25 |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/79608/bon-jovi-planning-new-studio-album-box-set|access-date=2016-12-14 }}</ref> Between June and October 2001, band members wrote 25 songs and demoed totally 12 of them. Many of those songs were written in September, and they were influenced by the [[September 11 attacks]]. Those songs were "Standing" and "Another Reason to Believe".<ref name="bon_jovi_puts_ally_mcbeal_on_hold_to_play_benefits">{{cite web|title=Bon Jovi Puts 'Ally McBeal' On Hold To Play Benefits|work=[[MTV]] |date=2001-10-01 |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1449477/bon-jovi-puts-ally-mcbeal-on-hold-to-play-benefits/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220112510/http://www.mtv.com/news/1449477/bon-jovi-puts-ally-mcbeal-on-hold-to-play-benefits/|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 20, 2016|access-date=2016-12-14 }}</ref><ref name="bon_jovi_want_to_help_nation_bounce_back_with_next_album">{{cite web|title=Bon Jovi Want To Help Nation Bounce Back With Next Album|work=[[MTV]] |date=2001-10-22 |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1450267/bon-jovi-want-to-help-nation-bounce-back-with-next-album/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220112316/http://www.mtv.com/news/1450267/bon-jovi-want-to-help-nation-bounce-back-with-next-album/|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 20, 2016|access-date=2016-12-14 }}</ref> At the end of July 2001, Bon Jovi finished their Crush world tour with two sold-out shows at [[Giants Stadium]] in New Jersey. The band then took a three-week break after which Jon and [[Richie Sambora]] started writing songs, first in Los Angeles and later in New Jersey. They have [[Demo (music)|demoed]] some of those new songs in New Jersey in November 2001. After that, Jon had to fulfill an acting commitment to the TV series ''[[Ally McBeal]]'' (1997-2002), so he stayed at Sambora's house in Los Angeles and during that time they continued with the songwriting process and demoing process at [[Luke Ebbin]]'s house. Songwriting and demoing process went on until March 2002, and between March and June 2002, the album was recorded. By early July 2002. all the songs that ended up on the album were [[Audio mixing (recorded music)|mixed]] and by the late July of the same year they were [[Audio mastering|mastered]]. In a period of less than a year, the band wrote approximately 40 songs, 12 songs ended up on the album and several more songs in their demo versions ended up on singles as [[A-side and B-side|B-side]]s. During the songwriting process, the band also wrote some songs that were written as a [[cathartic]] [[exercise]]. Those songs were written right after the September 11 attacks and they were mainly of woe from lyrical standpoint because they were influenced by that tragedy. Jon said that those songs were only written and will never be recorded.<ref name="bon_jovi_bounce_faq">{{cite web|title=Bon Jovi: Bounce - FAQ|work=Bonjovi.com |url=http://www.islandrecords.com/bonjovi/bounce_faq.las|access-date=2017-01-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031002200926/http://www.islandrecords.com/bonjovi/bounce_faq.las|archive-date=October 2, 2003 }}</ref>
