The Katy Perry Wiki

Not to be mistaken for the Glen Ballard produced song, "It's Okay to Believe".

Katy Perry
Written by Katy Perry

"Believe" is a song that is rumored to be written by Katy Perry. It was rumored that this song was intended for PRISM but was scrapped because, according to an insider, Perry thought "the song was too cheesy". She then chose "Unconditionally" to be on the album instead.

A demo leaked onto the internet in 2013, and it's believed it's sung by an unknown session vocalist, although the authenticity of this demo is debatable. The song is not registered on Perry's ASCAP.

Lyrics[]

Take a second look in the mirror
And see who you really are
You've got something different about you
That makes you a super star
Don't act like you don't know
How everyone says
Face the facts, you've made it now
So let go of your fears

You gotta believe-eh-eh-eh-eh
In yourself
You gotta believe-eh-eh-eh-eh
You're the best

Glow in the dark
Light all the haters
Be who you are
Because love is all that matters

Sometimes you take of a leap of faith
And hope you land on solid ground
You'll never know if you don't try
And you'll be stuck in the lost and found
As/rise above the groping broken crowd
And find the strength inside
Hear the voice from within
Cause you only got one life

You gotta believe-eh-eh-eh-eh
In yourself
You gotta believe-eh-eh-eh-eh
You're the best

Glow in the dark
Light all the haters
Be who you are
Because love is all that matters

You gotta believe-eh-eh-eh-eh
In yourself
You gotta believe-eh-eh-eh-eh
You're the best

They try to take you down
So far that you'll never be found
It's time to turn around
They'll try to mess you up
But you're never gonna give up
You're so high! Like a star!

Glow in the dark
Light all the haters
Be who you are
Because love is all that matters

You gotta believe-eh-eh-eh-eh
In yourself
You gotta believe-eh-eh-eh-eh
You're the best
Take a second look in the mirror
And see who you really are...
