I te 16 o ona tau, ka tutaki a Jon ki a David Bryan, a ka whakatū i tētahi kapa ko Atlantic City Expressway. I a ia e taiohi tonu ana, i purei a Bon Jovi i te roopu a John Bongiovi me te Wild Ones, e purei ana i nga karapu penei i te Fast Lane me te whakatuwhera i nga mahi a rohe. I te tau 1980, i hangaia e ia tetahi atu roopu, ko te Toenga, ka whakatuwherahia mo nga mahi a New Jersey penei i a Southside Johnny me te Asbury Jukes. I te tau 1980, i tuhi a Jon i tana takitahi tuatahi, "Runaway" i te whare wananga o tana whanaunga, i tautokohia e nga kaiwaiata o te whare wananga. I whakatangihia te waiata e tetahi teihana reo irirangi o te rohe i runga i te riipene whakahiato. I te waenganui o te tau 1982, i waho o te kura me te mahi wa-waahi i te toa hu wahine, i mahi a Jon Bon Jovi i te Power Station Studios, he whare tuhi Manhattan i reira tana whanaunga a Tony Bongiovi he rangatira tahi. He maha nga whakaaturanga a Jon - tae atu ki tetahi i hangaia e Billy Squier - ka tukuna atu ki nga kamupene rekoata, ahakoa kaore i whai mana. Ko tana rekoata ngaio tuatahi ko te kaiwaiata matua i roto i te "R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas", he waahanga no te Kirihimete i roto i nga whetu i hangaia e tana whanaunga. I te 1983, i toro a Jon ki tetahi teihana reo irirangi WAPP 103.5FM "Te Apple" i Lake Success, New York ki te tuhi me te waiata i nga jingles mo te teihana. I korero ia ki a DJ Chip Hobart me te kaiwhakahaere whakatairanga, a John Lassman, nana nei i whakaaro kia whakauruhia e Jon te waiata "Runaway" ki runga i te pukaemi whakahiato a te teihana o nga taranata o te rohe. I whakakorekore a Jon, engari i te mutunga ka hoatu e ia te waiata ki a raatau, i tuhia ano e ia i te 1982 (i muri i te rekoata i te timatanga o te tau 1981) me nga kaiwaiata o te whare wananga a rohe i tohua e ia The All Star Review guitarist Tim Pierce, keyboardist Roy Bittan, drummer Frankie LaRocka, me bassist Hugh McDonald.
