“Livin’ on a Prayer” is Bon Jovi’s second single from their Slippery When Wet album. Written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora with Desmond Child, the single, released in late 1986, was well-received at both rock and pop radio and its music video was given heavy rotation at MTV, giving the band their first #1 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The single also became Bon Jovi’s second consecutive #1 Hot 100 pop hit and has become one of the band’s best-remembered and most enduring recordings, topping fan-voted lists and re-charting around the world decades after its release.

“It’s My Life” is Bon Jovi’s first single from the album Crush. It was released on May 23, 2000. It was written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Max Martin. ”It’s My Life” became one of the most successful Bon Jovi singles, hitting #1 across many countries (however, it only reached #33 in the band’s native country, the USA) and most importantly became a symbol of the band’s longevity as they prevailed through many different changes in the mainstream rock scene with admirable success. It was credited with reviving their career after they came off a five year break, during which they each pursued individual solo careers. It was also credited with introducing the veteran band to an entirely new, younger audience. ”It’s My Life” is Bon Jovi’s first single from the album Crush. It was released on May 23, 2000.

As digital downloads became prominent in the late 2000s it enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, partly due to being featured on several television shows. Allmusic has described the song as “an anthem for the young who wanted to feel free and unrestricted”, featuring “one of the best opening keyboard riffs in rock.”
