About This Is Our House

"This Is Our House" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. It was originally written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child and recorded in 2009. Originally intended as an exclusive track for the forthcoming National League Super Bowl season, it became a hit with Bon Jovi fans who asked for it to be including on the band's new hits collection. Greatest Hits had already been pressed to disk and it was too late to include the song of a physical format but it made its debut proper as a bonus track if one downloaded Greatest Hit from the band's website. The song was also released as a bonus track on the iTunes edition of their Greatest Hits collection in the UK and Europe, but was released as a digital single in September 2011. Bon Jovi opened many shows in 2010-2012 with This Is Our House. Designed as a "sports anthem", the song was used by a number of sports leagues and teams, including Australia's National Rugby League, who prominently used the song as part of its marketing campaign beginning in the 2011 season. In contrast, its use by the New Jersey Devils was deemed controversial by fans due to the traditions surrounding Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll", which the team had discontinued to promote a more positive fan atmosphere. It has been the touchdown song for the New England Patriots since 2009.

This is our time
This is our night
Are you alive?
Get up, get up, get up, get up, time to fly

Are we gonna raise the roof? (oh yeah)
Are we gonna touch the sky? (hell yeah)
Everybody with me let me hear you now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

This is our house
These are my people, listen, this is my town
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
(Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
This is our house
(Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)

With the wind and our time
We have arrived
We won't be denied
Get up, get up, get up, get up, time to shine

Are we gonna turn it up? (oh yeah)
Are we gonna shake it up? (hell yeah)
Everybody with me let me hear you now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

This is our house
These are my people, listen, this is my town
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
This is our house
These are my colors, this is sacred ground
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
This is our house (oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
