In These Arms is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. It was written by Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan, and Richie Sambora. It was released in 1993 as the third single from the band's 1992 album Keep the Faith. The song was the band's second most successful single from Keep the Faith in the U.S., reaching #27 on the Billboard Hot 100. It reached #9 on the UK Singles Chart, starting a trend of Bon Jovi having greater success in the European market than in their home market.
The song's lyrics are about everlasting love and devotion. The song is characterized by a strong bass rhythm, jangling guitars, and very light drum playing, as well as soulful, emotional singing by Jon Bon Jovi. However, it isn't a ballad, as it's driving guitars and fast-paced beat and upbeat sound maintain it as more of a pop-rock song, in the vein of "Born to Be My Baby".
The video for the song is an all-color video, showing Bon Jovi performing at a concert on their Keep the Faith Tour. The live portions were filmed at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA, on December 31st, 1992.
The song has always been a fan favorite, and was a staple in the band's setlist on their recent Have a Nice Day Tour.
