The Bravery made "Believe" the second single from The Sun and the Moon, their 2007 second album on Island, with Brendan O'Brien producing, and coming after "Time Won't Let Me Go" it became the band's highest-charting Modern Rock single, peaking at number four. A remix later turned up on The Sun and the Moon Complete, and in April 2014 the RIAA certified it gold.
It found a second life on screens. Pontiac put it in TV ads, NFL Network made it the theme of its 2008 draft coverage, and it landed on the Madden NFL 08 soundtrack and in Band Hero, while television kept reaching for it, from promos for Friday Night Lights and FlashForward to episodes of Gossip Girl, Reaper, Prison Break and 90210. American Idol even covered it for a music video promoting Twilight.
