I wrote it in like January of and I played it for David Foster and he put his touch on it and then it got to Michael and he put his touch on it. He did such a good job. It's all for the love of collaboration. I think he's wonderful! Michael told Smooth Radio : "A friend of mine who had co-written it called me and told me that they had been working on a song, knowing the concept of record that I was making, this kind of beautiful, romantic record.
I don't always record others. But for the first time in my life I was so taken by it that I decided that I would record it. I never met him, he sang backgrounds on the song. He's a very sweet kid But I'm a fan! A music video, directed by Ben Mor, featuring a love story between Michael and an actress was released and plays behind Michael during his arena tours.
However, Michael joked during an interview with Smooth Radio about his wife Luisana Lopilato 's response to it. He explained: "You know, as I said to you, I don't know the results of anything and I refuse to know. So when they sent me the music video, I thought, well, I don't even want to look at it.
I was there, I shot it. She looked at it and was like, 'Who is this woman in the video, Mike? And I said, 'Yeah, well it's a music video'. She said, 'No, because I know your fake red carpet smile and I know your real smile and this is a real smile.
Michael continued to Smooth Radio : "But I mean she's just teasing me, it's not real. It's the same thing when she has to do a love scene. I don't love that she has to do a love scene. I get that it's part of her craft. But of course I give her hell for it too. Michael said: "'I Believe in You' I think is a hopeful track. I think it's romantic. When we sat down to write it we were here in Vancouver. We were messing around at home and we were on the piano.
And we just kind of started with this verse and it all started coming together. We knew 'I Believe in You' was going to be the title. And I wanted to write something that was more complex, more real, that talk about how relationships really are. I remember being in the car in Los Angeles and he called me up as I was driving from the studio and he said, 'What do you think about this bridge?
I know sometimes you feel like you are worthless, like all the love you get, you don't deserve it, sometimes I feel my faith is just a burden on you. I thought it was beautiful, really. Michael continued: "You know, sometimes when you're writing a song like that, it doesn't come that easily.
But when you know it's right, it just hits you. At the end of the day, I do love pop music very much. I didn't start this record taking risks so that at the very end I could wimp out I just didn't. So I was going to fight for what I believed in, and I think that took this song to another level. Again, whatever's best for this song is what I was going to do.
A lyric video premiered on the singer's YouTube channel in August , with an official music video following afterwards in October. The video took inspiration from the s show The Dating Game , with Michael playing all three eligible bachelors: a glasses-wearing nerd, a narcissistic ladies man sporting bell-bottom trousers and sideburns, and a beatnik, beret-wearing French man.
A lot of work and love brought us to this moment! The lead single of the album gave listeners a new sound in a way they had never heard Michael before and had the backing from his loyal legion of followers. Two versions of the song were released, one featuring rapper Black Thought and one without. The song became a successful hit to perform on stage, with Michael often allowing his children to share the limelight on tour to join in with the catchy tune.
Michael said: "That's what I'm here for. I'm here to take you away. Take you away for a few hours and entertain you and allow you an escape and to know that there can be hope and there's still romance alive. The track was produced by Johan Carlsson.
Speaking about writing the song with Harry, Meghan said: "I was very nervous so I prepared a little chorus on my ukulele, and I walked in and in five minutes I felt very comfortable because he was very normal and funny and just a regular year old dude I was nervous because I thought he'd be like a Justin Bieber, like 'he's so famous' and love himself, but he was just so normal I immediately wasn't nervous anymore.
Michael explained how the song was inspired by all the terrible things going on in the world, saying: "Economic crisis, disasters, shootings. There's all of this darkness. But for the rest of us, if you can afford to download a track from a CD then you've got it easy.
He went on to explain how his record company hated the song as they felt it was too dark and "didn't sound like him". Michael said: "For me it's a thoughtful, personal, important song. I told the record company, 'If it doesn't get on the radio, you deal with it'. It's a polarising song. My mum hates it, my sisters love it. Michael said: "I have always written these songs about love, or loss or longing.
I just sat down at the piano and I started to work on this tune and the lyrics just came right out. Call Me Irresponsible. Call Me Irresponsible Deluxe. Frank Sinatra. Diana Krall. Norah Jones. Colbie Caillat.

I had always wanted to do a Christmas album, but I had to make sure the timing was right. I was really egotistical about it.
This was definitely more of an effort. I was very proud of it when I finished it, but it was never completely comfortable. It fits for me. I could go down the list of everything from Queen to Abba to Springsteen.
I had such a massive urge to grow. I really felt like I had made a few safe decisions, and instead of that guy who was enjoying the ride, there was this guy who popped up that started to get scared that the ride was leaving. And that part of me started to overtake the kid that had joy and was having fun on the journey. I would love to have somebody who is a great rapper. I listened it in my car so loud — I was pumped. The record was out for four days, and then the fourth day I got the news about my boy.
And it became completely unimportant in the context of everything. I never thought about it again. Home Music News. Nov 16, am PT. See All. Courtesy of Warner Bros. More From Our Brands.
