Background
When the Keep the Faith Tour ended in December 1993, Jon Bon Jovi went on a vacation in January 1994 where he wrote "Something To Believe In", really the first song written for the album. Over the next nine months, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora wrote and demoed forty songs. The album was originally slated to be released in the fourth quarter of 1994, but they asked for more time because Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora felt that they were really creative on writing. Because of that, they released Cross Road, their first greatest hits album with two new songs in October 1994.
