Jon Bon Jovi explained, "I liked what Bryan Adams had done with Tina Turner so I suggested we do something similar: I write a song for someone like her, and then we do the song together. He came to New Jersey, where they worked on the four songs in Sambora's mother's basement. This was the first time Child worked with Jon and Richie. Much of the album was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, whereas " You Give Love a Bad Name", " Livin' on a Prayer", "Without Love", and "I'd Die For You" were co-written with Desmond Child, and "Wild in the Streets" was by Bon Jovi alone. The 1985 album Without Love which Fairbairn produced for the heavy metal band Black 'n Blue, attracted Jon Bon Jovi with its sound quality, and he immediately sought out the producer. Bruce Fairbairn was chosen as the producer for the album, with Bob Rock as the mixer. Hiring Desmond Child as a collaborator, the band wrote 30 songs and auditioned them for local New Jersey (including recording artist and Phantom's Opera vocalist Colie Brice) and New York teenagers, basing the album's running order on their opinions. The band changed its approach for the next album, with a more mainstream sound than the heavier first two albums. Upon its 1985 release, 7800° Fahrenheit achieved moderate success, but Bon Jovi had not yet become superstars.

Slippery When Wet was an instant commercial success, spending eight weeks at No. The album has been called the album that " heavy metal into a radio-friendly pop format", and is also commonly seen as "a breakthrough for hair metal". The album features many of Bon Jovi's best-known songs, including " You Give Love a Bad Name", " Livin' on a Prayer", and " Wanted Dead or Alive". It was produced by Bruce Fairbairn, with recording sessions between January and July 1986 at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
