About Believe

"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. 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. The "Olympic Inspired" version of the song, released September 17, 2007, served as the album's second single. 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. 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.

One minute's fading
One minute's past
But I've got this moment
To make it all last
I'm standing before you
Taking my chance on
Everything I never thought that I could be
Cause you can do almost anything

If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
The higher you climb
The better it gets
Cause you will see things
You'll never forget
If you just believe

It's like I'm falling through my own fears
They used to haunt me, but now they're not here
There's no looking back, my future is clear
No giving up
And I'm holding on when it gets rough
Cause you can get through most anything

If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
The higher you climb
The better it gets
Cause you will see things
You'll never forget
If you just believe

No one says it's easy
And no one says you have to be perfect
But as long as you try
You're always gonna find
It was worth it

If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
The higher you climb
The better it gets
Cause you will see things
You'll never forget
If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
If you just believe
You can move mountains with dreams
