Overview

"Misunderstood" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi from their eighth studio album, Bounce. The single was first released in Japan as a double A-side with "Bounce" on November 13, 2002, and was released by itself in the United States the following month. "Misunderstood" peaked at 34 on Billboards Mainstream Top 40 chart and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The single is a version of the album cut that was remixed by Tim Palmer at Electric Lady Studios in New York. Music video The video begins with a girl, Jill (played by Rachel Nichols), opening the door to her room where she and her boyfriend, Jack (played by Tom Sandoval), live. As she enters, she catches both Jack and another woman (played by Camila Alves) naked in bed. Shocked and embarrassed, Jack claims that it isn't what it looks like and begs her to let him explain. The video turns into a flashback and the music begins after an extended instrumental intro. The flashback shows Jack's far-fetched explanation with his dialogue displayed at the bottom of the screen interspersed with footage of Bon Jovi playing the song throughout. Here is Jack's dialogue: "I was buying you flowers...I slipped and hit my head...I was unconscious...someone stole my wallet...I had amnesia...I wandered aimlessly...I found the pick-pocket...and chased him...into a bad situation! They put me in a box...and dumped me into the river! I floated for hours...finally I landed ashore...I just wanted to go home...but I was mistakenly arrested...and put behind bars. They finally caught the real crook...I ended up outside a secret club...I was front row at a Bon Jovi concert...and my memory came back! I was attacked by dogs...they ripped my clothes off...finally I made it to your bedroom...and just then an earthquake hit...and this girl fell through the ceiling!" Then the video returns to the present and ends with Jack saying, "And that's exactly how it happened."
