At the time of this writing, Bon Jovi's 1986 hit single, "Livin' on a Prayer," from the massively successful album Slippery When Wet, has been streamed over 2 billion times on Spotify. In a 2023 interview with The Guardian, songwriter and producer Desmond Child, who co-wrote the song with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, reflected on its origins and enduring legacy.
According to Child, "Livin' on a Prayer" was written "on a Formica table in a dingy basement" and was partially inspired by the early years of Child's career and his struggles alongside then-girlfriend, singer-songwriter Maria Vidal.
