A year after their surprise onstage moment at Ultra Music Festival, the influential DJ and rock icon have released their long-awaited, genre-blending collaboration.

The world first caught a glimpse of Armin van Buuren and Jon Bon Jovi's "Keep the Faith" nearly a year ago at Ultra Music Festival, when the legendary rocker himself stormed the stage to debut the track alongside van Buuren. Now, almost a year later, the full-throttle collaboration has arrived.

Released via Armada Music, the track marks both an unexpected collision of two music titans and a testament to both of their legacies. Armin van Buuren approached the project with reverence, knowing the weight of what he was about to reimagine.

"Reworking this track was an incredible honor on its own, but having Jon Bon Jovi join me on stage at Ultra was a once-in-a-lifetime moment," he said in a press release shared with EDM.com. "Rock music has always inspired me, and I’ve been a Bon Jovi fan for ages, so this was truly special."

The original "Keep the Faith," a defiant rallying cry released in 1992, was built on towering guitar riffs and Bon Jovi’s signature blue-collar grit. But it transforms in van Buuren’s hands, glowing with an incandescent trance undercurrent.

The trance icon himself is no stranger to dance music reinventing some of rock's most storied classics—his 2019 remix of Van Halen’s "Jump" previously proved that guitar-driven classics could thrive under the weight of festival-grade synths, and his latest is no exception.
