Always was released by Bon Jovi in 1994 as a single from the band's Cross Road greatest-hits collection, written by frontman Jon Bon Jovi as a sweeping power ballad about devotion and regret. It became one of the group's most enduring slow songs, helped by its emotional vocal performance and its regular place on radio, in karaoke and at weddings. Decades later, short clips of its opening circulate in fan edits and social videos because the melody is instantly recognisable even without the full track.

The opening of Bon Jovi's power ballad Always, with Jon's emotional vocals over piano and guitar, often used in romantic edits and throwback videos.
This 18-second clip captures the soaring opening of Bon Jovi's Always, starting with soft piano and Jon Bon Jovi's earnest, slightly strained vocal before the band builds behind him. The melody is slow, heartfelt and instantly recognisable, with a rising intensity that makes a simple moment feel dramatic and sincere. Hearing it immediately brings to mind late-night singalongs, slow dances and emotional movie scenes, even for listeners who do not know the full song. It works because the voice sounds vulnerable rather than polished, so it adds warmth, longing and a touch of 1990s nostalgia to any edit it is placed over.
