Bon Jovi's musical style has generally been characterized as 'hard rock', 'pop/hair metal', 'arena rock' and 'pop rock', although they have also experimented and varied from these genres at times.

It always makes me feel better when I listen to it because of the love, happiness, and all those good feelings the lyrics has.

This song makes me feel love and that feeling of sadness when the girl discovered that the guy she met wasn’t what she really thought he was. On the other hand this song has a very special meaning for me, that is, for me Bon Jovi is trying to let people know that everything that we see doesn’t have to be what we immediately imagine, I mean, first we should listen to what had happened before.

I HAVE CHOSEN THIS SONG BECAUSE...
It's one of my mother's favourite artists. She told me that when she saw Whitney Houston performing the 15th of November of 1993 at Palacio de los deportes in Madrid, her powerful and strong voice was enough to give a magical gig. There was just her in the middle of the stage and a little orchestra at the background, she didn't needed any pyrotechnics or live visuals to stand out her performance. This song emphasizes this facts very well.

  WHAT THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL IS...
This song makes me feel happy and very weak at the same time, thanks to the majesty voice she has and the vocal range. She reaches high and melodic tones that makes you feel relaxed. The saxophone, that sounds at the background at different times of the song, transfers you to a pure bliss mood. If you pay attention to the lyrics, you can appreciate the beautiful meaning it has, even though it's not very long.
