“Raise Your Hands” by Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi's "Raise Your Hands" sits on Slippery When Wet, the band's third album, which came out in August 1986. Jon Bon Jovi wrote the words and the music with Richie Sambora, and sings lead. Bruce Fairbairn produced, with the sessions running from January to July that year at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, and Bob Rock engineered and mixed.

Sambora is all over it, credited with electric and acoustic guitar, guitar synthesizer and a talkbox, while David Bryan plays keyboards, Alec John Such bass and Tico Torres drums and percussion, and everybody but Torres piles onto the backing vocals. On the album it keeps company with "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive".
