Best Answer

It was written in the early 90s, in a period of time Jon calls his "Grey period." He was exhausted from touring nonstop, completely burned out on the music business, and depressed because all his dreams had come true and he still wasn't happy. It wasn't what he thought it would be. The band was falling apart. They weren't getting along. Jon was so down that he nearly jumped out of a moving car to kill himself.

They didn't release the song until 2004, on the 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong box set. At the only concert they played to promote the box set, he said he likes the song more now, because it doesn't hurt as bad.

Why did Bon Jovi name his fourth album keep the faith?

Why Jon Bon Jovi named their fifth album "Keep the Faith" is because it was a fresh new start for Bon Jovi after their endless touring during the 80s after all the exhaustion, fame and fortune. As Bon Jovi describes it themselves, Keep the Faith means to keep your head up and stand strong, have a little faith and keep going. It was the next chapter of Bon Jovi and the album cover with all their hands together symbolises the bringing back of the band. This was one of their greatest comback after their fourth album in 1988, "New Jersey".
