The song, as everyone knows it, was saved by two men getting on their hands and knees in a recording studio and begging a frontman who didn't believe in his own song.
The bones of the song came together. The chorus - not so much.
The line "We've gotta hold on to what we've got" was the entire chorus at first. Jon thought it was done. Child disagreed. "The 'We've gotta hold on' was the first chorus," Child said. "And Jon was happy with that, and I said, 'No, no, no, that's just the B section. Let's write the chorus now.'"
But the fight wasn't over yet. The whole song had been written on the piano, and it definitely sounded like it. Jon just couldn't picture it any other way. He was the frontman of a guitar band, he said. A piano-driven song just wasn't going to work for them.
The Hands and Knees Moment That Saved an Anthem
"We got on our hands and knees, literally, and begged him to at least try it," Child said.

That's about right. It works the same way in a stadium, a bar, a car and a wedding reception. It brings people together in a way that only happens when a song is exactly what it needs to be. Two people had to get on their knees to make sure this one was.
It’s, in a way, the same story the song has always been about: someone who was told it probably wouldn’t work, who refused to accept that, and came out the other side on top.
The crowd already knows every word and is eagerly awaiting his return.
