Discipline is the only solo album recorded by American songwriter and producer Desmond Child. It was released on Elektra in 1991 and features his longer take on "Love on a Rooftop", a song he wrote for Cher on her 1989 album Heart of Stone, which reached number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[2] Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora appears on the album; in addition to playing his usual array of guitars, he co-wrote two tracks (the title song and "According to the Gospel of Love"). Also notable is an appearance by Bon Jovi's drummer, Tico Torres. Famed songwriter Burt Bacharach co-wrote the song "Obsession", which peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[3]
