When Bon Jovi released their signature anthem "Livin' on a Prayer" in 1986, they created more than just a multi-platinum hit. They gave music lovers a universal story of perseverance, love, and hustle.
The Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Desmond Child-penned tune ranks at No. 16 out of the 100 most popular reception playlists. The rock classic continues to prove its staying power as a must-play track for generations of partygoers.
The song's enduring popularity is a testament to its universal message of sticking together through tough times. Whether embraced by a new generation of streaming fans or those who remember watching the video on MTV, the anthem bridges generations like few other rock tracks can.
“It wasn’t that I didn’t want to record it. But I wasn’t all that impressed on the day that we wrote it,” the Grammy winner told PEOPLE Magazine.
Bon Jovi concluded, "We knew what we wanted, we just didn't have it, and so I was like, 'Yeah, it's good. Good day. Good day at the office,' and I was wrong. It's one of the biggest songs in our catalog."
Additionally, the singer and songwriter told PBS NewsHour the song "evolved" from what was originally put to paper with Sambora and Child. "It was a very simple chord structure, the melody, the lyric, we knew all that," he began.
"It was written with an acoustic guitar and a piano," Bon Jovi concluded. "It wasn't the first single on the album. 'You Give Love a Bad Name' was the first single. 'Prayer' was the second single and was so different."
