"Believe in Me" is the title of a popular song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg. The song appears on Fogelberg's eighth studio album Windows and Walls (1984).
Song Background
[edit]When "Believe in Me" was recorded in May 1983, Fogelberg handled most of the musical creation himself, playing guitar and bass as well as recording his vocals; musician Mike Hanna (who played acoustic guitar on the track) was the only other performer in the studio.[1] Fogelberg later described the song in the liner notes to a retrospective album: "One of my best love songs. Written at my old house in Nederland, Colorado, while building the ranch. Obviously, all was not well."[1]
Chart performance
[edit]Released as the second single from Windows and Walls, "Believe in Me" missed the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at No. 48.[1] However, on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, where Fogelberg had enjoyed more consistent success, the song became his fourth No. 1 hit, following his earlier singles "Longer", "Leader of the Band", and "Make Love Stay".[1]
