Believe (Suzie McNeil song)
2006 single by Suzie McNeil
"Believe" is a song written by Kara DioGuardi and Marti Frederiksen and famously recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Suzie McNeil for her debut studio album, Broken & Beautiful (2007). It was first released to digital retailers in September 2006, while "Hung Up" was serviced to radio as the official lead single.[1] The song was re-recorded with the National Arts Centre Orchestra in support of Canada's Own the Podium campaign, and served as the official anthem of the Canadian team for the 2010 Winter Olympics.[2][3] The "Olympic Inspired" version of the song, released September 17, 2007, served as the album's second single.[4] An alternate version is also included on McNeil's second album, Rock-n-Roller (2008).
A moderate commercial success, "Believe" entered the Canadian Hot 100 at number 81, and peaked at number 61.[5] The song was more well-received critically, being highlighted as a standout track from the album by critics including AllMusic's Matthew Chisling, and is one of the songs for which McNeil is best known.[6]
