For the band to break through,and release a good single, they needed something special, and thought the key was to incorporate  big choruses. Tthe man to deliver that was Desmond Child. He got together with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and the trio got to work. Child says "The very first day we got together we wrote 'You Give Love a Bad Name.' Then a few weeks later we wrote 'Livin' On A Prayer.' It was a magical collaboration and there was instant chemistry between us."
