band Bon Jovi. It was written by Jon Bon Jovi,
David Bryan, and Richie Sambora. It was released in
1993 as the third single from the band's 1992 album
Success
The song was the band's second most successful single from Keep the Faith in the U.S., reaching #27 on the Billboard Hot 100. It reached #9 on the UK Singles Chart, furthering a trend of Bon Jovi having greater success in the European market than in their home market.
Song information
The song's lyrics are about everlasting love and devotion. The song is characterized by a strong bass rhythm by Alec John Such, jangling guitars, and very light drum playing, as well as soulful, emotional singing by Jon Bon Jovi. However, it isn't a ballad, as it's driving guitars and fast-paced beat and upbeat sound maintain it as more of a pop-rock song, in the vein of "Born to Be My Baby".
