After a nearly four-year hiatus, during which several band members worked on independent projects, Bon Jovi regrouped to begin work on their next studio album. In June 2000, ''[[Crush (Bon Jovi album)|Crush]]'' was released as the band's seventh studio album and constituted something of a comeback. The first single, "[[It's My Life (Bon Jovi song)|It's My Life]]", was noted as one of the group's most successful releases in a decade and most importantly, becoming a symbol of the band's longevity as they prevailed through many different changes in the mainstream rock scene with admirable success. "It's My Life" helped introduce them to a new, younger fan base. The band received two [[Grammy]] nominations for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Album|Best Rock Album]] (''Crush'') and [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal|Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal]] ("It's My Life").

Bon Jovi played two sold-out concerts at London's historic [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]] on August 19–20, 2000, becoming the last concerts held at the legendary venue before its demolition. That year the band played to 1.1 million fans in 40 arena and stadium venues across North America, Europe and Japan.

The members of the band had anticipated a brief vacation before work would begin on the band's 8th studio album but on September 11 the world changed. Within days of the terrorist attacks, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora had filmed Public Service Announcements for the Red Cross, recorded "America The Beautiful" for the [[NFL]] and performed as part of the historic ''[[America: A Tribute to Heroes]]'' live telethon.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}} One month later, the band participated at two Monmouth County Alliance of Neighbors concerts in Red Bank, NJ to raise funds for the families close the band's hometowns, which were affected by the World Trade Center disaster. And on October 21, 2001, Bon Jovi performed at the monumental ''Concert For New York'' at [[Madison Square Garden]], raising relief funds and honoring those who worked to save lives during the attack.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

In spring 2002, the group entered the studio to begin recording their eighth studio album. ''[[Bounce (Bon Jovi album)|Bounce]]'' was influenced by the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks]], released on October 8, 2002.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}} The album debuted at number two in both the U.S. and UK, but was the first album to sell less than 6 million units since their 1985 record ''{{proper name|[[7800° Fahrenheit]]}}''. The band went on the Bounce Tour for the album, during which they made history as the last band to play at [[Veterans Stadium]] in [[Philadelphia]] before it was torn down.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

Following the end of the Bounce Tour in August 2003, Bon Jovi embarked on a side project; originally intending to produce an album consisting of live acoustic performances, the band ended up rewriting, re-recording and reinventing 12 of their biggest hits in a new and much different light. Bon Jovi's <!--Please do not add "ninth studio album" this album is Bon Jovi's compilation album, not a studio album--> compilation album ''[[This Left Feels Right]]'' was released in November 2003.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

The following year, the band released a box set titled ''[[100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong]]'', with the title and cover being a homage to Elvis Presley's ''[[50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong]]''. The set consisted of four CDs packed with 38 unreleased and 12 rare tracks, as well as a DVD. The box set marked the sales of 100 million Bon Jovi albums and also commemorated the 20th anniversary of the release of the band's first record in 1984. In November 2004, Bon Jovi was honored with the Award for Merit at the [[American Music Awards]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}
