"Believe" was the second single from Push the Button, the Chemical Brothers' fifth album, and it handed the microphone to Kele Okereke, the singer and rhythm guitarist of Bloc Party, who wrote it with Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons. It's a collision worth hearing: AllMusic's John Bush heard an agonized song riding a production of "equal parts Prince and Chicago acid house", and Rolling Stone's Bill Werde reckoned Okereke's "urgent yelp" had it primed to become a club anthem.
The video premiered on MTV in March 2005, and the single followed on May 2, climbing to 18 in the UK and into the top 20 in Italy and Spain. Vice's Thump later ranked it 12th among the duo's 15 best collaborations.
