The song was 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.
It has been the touchdown song for the New England Patriots since 2009.
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.
Speaking of the song, Jon Bon Jovi stated that "Having led an Arena Football League team from inception to championship and as a lifelong sports fan, I know the intensity and dedication that goes into cheering on your team."
