    "Real Life" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi, released in 1999. It is taken from the soundtrack of the film EDtv.

    Remix[edit]

    A remix of the song is also present on the 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong boxset. It reached the top 40 on the Radio & Records Airplay chart. At the time Hugh McDonald was an unofficial member of the band and this marked the only time that the bassist featured on a Bon Jovi release's artwork until his promotion to being an official member, when he featured on the artwork for the band's 2016 single "This House Is Not for Sale".
