Bon Jovi’s 1994 power ballad “Always” is a soaring declaration of eternal love and regret. Originally written for a film soundtrack, the band decided to release it themselves—and it became one of their biggest hits. Jon Bon Jovi’s impassioned vocals, paired with a dramatic guitar solo, struck a chord globally, sending the song into the top 5 in the US and to #1 in multiple countries. To this day, “Always” remains a staple of ’90s rock playlists and one of Bon Jovi’s most beloved slow-dance anthems.
