"Believe" is a pop song by American singer-actress Cher. It was released in most countries at the end of 1998 by Warner Bros., as the first single from her twenty third album, Believe.
It became one of the best-selling singles of all time, and is one of the fewer than thirty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) copies worldwide. It won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording and was also nominated for Record of the Year. "Believe" is noted for its deliberately bare-faced use of the Auto-Tune pitch-correction software on the singer's vocals to create a peculiar sound effect, sometimes referred to as the "Cher Effect".
The song debuted at #99 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for the week of December 19, 1998. It peaked at #1 for the week of March 13, 1999. It stayed at #1 for four weeks.
"Believe" reached #74 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90's." The Xenomania Mix of the song was the most played version of the single on Australian radio.
