Music video
The music video for the song was directed by Phil Joanou and shot both in black and white and color. It combines scenes with whole band playing live on the stage and band members in New York City. Scenes in New York are mainly featuring Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora appearing in various parts of the city, but the whole band we can see only in the beginning and the end of the video. We can see Jon sitting on the stairway of a house, walking down the Brooklyn Bridge being followed by group of teenagers, and driving in the bus. Sambora is also seen playing the guitar on the Brooklyn Bridge and on Wall Street. One important scene features both Bon Jovi and Sambora on a stairway.
