Track listing

Due to the consumeristic trends in the US market, and the mild success that "Keep the Faith" had in that country, this single was not released in the U.S. at all.

UK Release

# I Believe (Clearmountain Mix)
# Runaway (live}
# Livin' on a Prayer (live)
# Wanted Dead or Alive (live)

Tracks 2, 3 and 4 were recorded live on the New Jersey and Keep the Faith Tours. The dates or locations of the shows aren't available due to their absence from the liner notes.

Live Performances

"I Believe" was played extensively during the "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead tour" (1993) and the "Here There and Everywhere tour" (1994-1995). Since then, it has been barely played and has become one of the rarest songs to be played live. The last time it was played was at Twickenham, London, England, on 28th June 2008 after Jon noticed a sign which was "very distracting" asking for it to be played. It wasn't played on the "Have A Nice Day Tour" at all.

When played live, this song features both Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi at guitar.
