The term comes from a German word for bridge, Steg, used by the Meistersingers of the 15th to 18th century to describe a transitional section in medieval bar form.

The Bridge is Billy Joel's 10th studio album released by Columbia Records in 1986 (see 1986 in music) and it was produced by Phil Ramone. This album had several successful singles, including "A Matter of Trust" (peaking at "Modern Woman" (from the Ruthless People soundtrack, peaking at and "This Is the Time" (peaking at Joel began work on the album in 1985 and it would become The Bridge in early 1986
