Keep the Faith is the fifth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released on November 3, 1992, by Mercury Records.
The album was produced by Bob Rock and was recorded at the Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Keep the Faith peaked at number five on the US Billboard 200 chart and was certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The album produced several hits for the band, including "Keep the Faith", "Bed of Roses" and "In These Arms".
Originally, the band had approached Bruce Fairbairn, who produced Slippery When Wet and New Jersey, but he was working on Aerosmith's Get a Grip at the time.
"When we got back together in a room in Vancouver," noted Jon Bon Jovi in 2007, "we closed the door and ignored what had happened to our genre of music.
Before the band reunited in the studio, Bon Jovi spent the summer of 1991 in anonymity, riding his motorbike in places like Arizona, gaining experiences that inspired him to write "Dry County" and "Bed of Roses".
To promote the album, Bon Jovi returned to their roots playing a few dates at the small New Jersey clubs where they had started their career.
In October 1994, the album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Keep the Faith is the third most-represented album in Bon Jovi's concert setlists behind Slippery When Wet and New Jersey.
Of the pure album tracks, "Blame It on the Love of Rock and Roll"[17] and "I Want You"[18] were each only played once during 1993, whilst "If I Was Your Mother" was performed live only twice during the Keep the Faith Tour and not subsequently.
