We're not sure how to feel about this revelation.

It’s one of the most recognisable rock songs in the world What is a party without Bon Jovi hit Livin’ On A Prayer blasting? Well, it turns out Jon Bon Jovi ‘wasn’t that impressed’ with the band’s iconic single when it was first written. The legendary frontman, 62, admitted he ‘was wrong’ with his original assessment of the 1986 chart-topping single, which went on to become one of the group’s most famous hits, but he’s glad they were able to work on developing the track into what it became.

Noting it is ‘also one of our biggest songs ever’, Jon recalled: ‘When I’d written that, we demoed it for a movie, that I had written it for, and thought, “Yeah, that’s not very good.” Put it on the shelf, and an A+R guy, who was a friend of ours, was listening to some of those lost songs, and he said, ‘You know, this is a monster hit.’ He was right.
