The song was first released on February 28, 2018.[2] as the first single from their seventh studio album When Legends Rise.[3] The song is the band's first release since switching record labels from Universal Republic to BMG in 2016 for more artistic control over their music.[4][5] Their prior single, a cover of the Beatles' "Come Together" was released as a single in 2017, but this was because it originated from the band's 2012 release Live & Inspired.[6]
Lyrically, the song, along with its respective album, are related to the band still being together and functioning well as a unit for over twenty years.[2] Frontman Sully Erna said of writing the song: .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}

I always write about things that have affected me on an emotional level...But if I choose to do that, I have to be prepared to be honest and vulnerable. And so the challenge is figuring out how 'exposed' you want to be with personal information. But I've also learnt over the years that, for me, being transparent, even to the point of embarrassment sometimes, is so much better than holding it inside and extending that pain longer than you need to. 'Bulletproof' is just another moment in my life when I allowed myself to be vulnerable and got hurt. It's this kind of carelessness from other people that eventually hardens you and forces you to put up that wall to protect yourself. So when and if they circle back around and try to get back in, you make yourself bulletproof.[7]
Musically, the song was described as more melodic and catchy, and less aggressive, than the band's past music.[8][9] Loudwire described it as having a "subdued vibe" in the choruses, with layers of guitar added gradually, until it "explodes" into the chorus, with heavy distorted guitars and melodic, soaring vocals.[8]
The music video for "Bulletproof" was released in April 3, 2018.[10] It features guest appearances by Billy Ray Cyrus and Sebastian Bach.[11] The 10 minute video was created by director Troy Smith[12] and producer/editor Noah Berlow.[13][14] The clip follows the band as they "audition" different directors to make their new music video, only to settle on Sully Erna's "cousin from Italy," Salvatore Pasquale.[10] When asked about the making of the "Bulletproof" music video and the band's decision to take a comedic approach, Erna stated that "We just really enjoy having fun and laughing," adding, "Music is about entertainment just as much as it's about the art."[10]
Reaction to the song has been mixed. Metal Injection sees the song as a "departure" for the band, instead opting for a "more melodic/catchy sound".[15] MetalSucks however was critical of the new sound demonstrated by the song, comparing it to 3 Doors Down and pop music.[16][17]
Upon its release, "Bulletproof" entered multiple charts, including the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs. The single debuted at number 24, making it the highest debut and greatest gainer in charting for the week.[18] The single ultimately peaked at number one where it remained for five consecutive weeks,[19] giving Godsmack their eighth number one single on that chart.[20] When asked about the single's chart performance, Sully Erna admitted that, despite "Bulletproof" being "the most commercial song on the record", he was still pleased to see the fans embrace it.[21] The single was certified platinum by the RIAA on September 24, 2020 for accumulating 1 million certified units,[22] almost a year after it was certified gold for accumulating 500,000 certified units.[23] In addition to it being certified platinum, "Bulletproof" was the most-played song on rock radio in 2018.[24]
"Bulletproof" is the lead single from GODSMACK's first album in four years, "When Legends Rise", which will be released on April 27. Frontman Sully Erna stated about the song: "I always write about things that have affected me on an emotional level. I think everyone knows that about me by now. But if I choose to do that, I have to be prepared to be honest and vulnerable. And so the challenge is figuring out how 'exposed' you want to be with personal information. But I've also learned over the years that for me, being transparent, even to the point of embarrassment sometimes, is so much better than holding it inside and extending that pain longer than you need to. 'Bulletproof' is just another moment in my life when I allowed myself to be vulnerable and got hurt. It's this kind of carelessness from other people that eventually hardens you and forces you to put up that wall to protect yourself. So when and if they circle back around and try to get back in, you make yourself bulletproof."
Asked what inspired the songs on "When Legends Rise", Erna explained: "It was just about evolving as a songwriter. I wanted to stretch my wings out even further to use all the experiences I've had with writing different types of music over the years and applying that to find a way to introduce a newer, fresher, more mature sound, but still maintaining the power of GODSMACK."
Erna said that the title of the album refers to "the band and our journey," adding, "It's been an amazing road we have traveled through all the ups and downs. But being able to conquer those challenging times with alcohol and egos and everything else that can tear a band apart is what we are the most proud of."

My interpretation is hes bulletproof from a non addict standpoint hes got victory from the people who tried to set him up and bring him down but in the end they can't get to him bring him down because hes bulletproof. I'm a just a music junkie , but have been through alot and am a target everyday by neighbors and people who have vendetta against federally bonded people they can't touch so they target their kids and grand kids, they can't win because the game their playing is going to come to an end when they get caught red ha did playing their dirty little game I win because I'm bullet proof and in the end they lose everything thats my take on this song and I absolutely love this song it hits home for me
My husband wastes money on his hobbies. It hurts us financially and I had to start working to cover the bills, leaving very little time for sex. I DON'T want it this way, but I'm so tired each day. I know it hurts our marriage. I try to talk to him about it but he gets mad. So I crank up "Bulletproof" in the car when I'm driving alone and just call it a day. Hoping he'll eventually come around.

To me this song is everything to do with living with an addict. Feeling alone and isolated, hoping time and time again that when they say they're going to get help its true and being utterly shattered when they relapse, not to mention the monster known as withdrawl, and suffering through it time and time again hoping it will be the last time until you have been hurt and broken so many times it no longer hurts or disappoints you and you realize you've stopped caring, you have no fight left and nothing they do can hurt you anymore... Too far gone.
My husband picked up a crack habit 2 years ago, i have fought, pleaded, taken the blame, wiped the tears, been positive, offered tough love- i have tried it all, today i close on my own house away from this and embark on my new life and not looking back. 152ee80cbc
