A year after their unforgettable collaboration at Ultra Music Festival, Armin van Buuren and Jon Bon Jovi have officially released their highly anticipated track, “Keep The Faith.” This genre-blending masterpiece brings the energy of rock and the pulse of trance together in a way that fans of both artists will love.
A Legendary Collaboration
The world first got a taste of this unique remix at Ultra Music Festival, where Bon Jovi surprised the crowd by joining van Buuren on stage. Now, after months of excitement, the full version is out via Armada Music, marking a bold fusion of rock and electronic dance music.
For van Buuren, this project was more than just another remix—it was a passion project.
“Reworking this track was an incredible honor,” he shared. “Having Jon Bon Jovi join me on stage at Ultra was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Rock music has always inspired me, and I’ve been a Bon Jovi fan for years. This was truly special.”
Reinventing a Classic
Originally released in 1992, “Keep The Faith” was a powerful anthem fueled by Bon Jovi’s iconic guitar riffs and heartfelt lyrics. Now, under van Buuren’s touch, the track transforms into a high-energy trance banger with an electrifying build-up and anthemic drops. This isn’t the first time van Buuren has successfully reimagined a rock classic—his 2019 remix of Van Halen’s “Jump” proved his ability to merge rock nostalgia with modern festival sounds.
Jon Bon Jovi himself was thrilled with the result.
“Bon Jovi songs have had some unique and epic moments over the years, but this is truly a highlight,” he said. “Armin is a total pro, and I was thrilled to work with him. My first Ultra experience was incredible, and the crowd’s energy was absolutely electric.”
A Festival-Ready Anthem
Van Buuren’s remix stays true to the essence of the original track while injecting it with pulsating synths and euphoric melodies. The slow-build structure of “Keep The Faith” aligns perfectly with the emotional highs and explosive drops that define today’s dance music hits.
For van Buuren, this collaboration was also deeply personal.
“Bon Jovi was everywhere when I was growing up in the Netherlands. I used to buy his records at my local store and play them nonstop. Getting to work with him on this remix was a dream come true.”
With its powerful message and dynamic production, “Keep The Faith” is set to dominate dance floors and festival stages worldwide. Fans of both Bon Jovi and Armin van Buuren can now experience this unforgettable remix, blending the best of rock and electronic music.
