The story behind the song

This song, from Bon Jovi's 1995 album These Days, is a rock ballad that leans into a strong rhythm and blues influence. The band felt it was a rootsy departure for them, and they were proud of how it turned out. It stands as a more understated and reflective ballad compared to some of their earlier work. Playing it feels like channeling a deeper, more soulful side of their rock sound.
