Something to Believe In (Fashawn song)
"Something to Believe In" is a song by American rapper Fashawn, with guest appearances by Nas and Aloe Blacc. It was released on February 19, 2015 as a single from Fashawn's second studio album The Ecology. The song is produced by DJ Khalil. It has received positive critical reception and is also featured on the soundtrack for the video games Madden NFL 16 and WWE 2K16.
Background and development
The song came to fruition after Fashawn signed to Nas' Mass Appeal Records. According to Fashawn, the original instrumental was part of an unreleased collection of material held by Aloe Blacc and his band. Aloe Blacc sent the instrumental to Fashawn, who then recruited DJ Khalil to put together a newer version that contained a more hip-hop feel. Coincidentally, both Fashawn and Nas wrote their verses while touring separately in Europe. In an interview, Fashawn reflected upon the song's creation by saying, "I felt like it was the perfect canvas to paint on and epitomizes what we stand for in rap."
Something to Believe In (Poison song)
"Something to Believe In" is a power ballad by American Glam metal band Poison, being the 2nd single from their 1990 (see 1990 in music) album Flesh & Blood. "Something to Believe In" was also released on the Best of Ballads & Blues album in 2003, with alternate lyrics (part 2).
The song peaked at number 4 in the US Billboard Hot 100, number 5 on the Mainstream rock charts, number 35 in the UK and #44 on the Australian charts. It was the last Top 10 on Billboard chart for the band to date.
This song was dedicated to James Kimo Maano, a security guard and best friend of Bret Michaels who had died some time earlier.
The cover art for the single depicts a tattoo on Bret Michaels's arm of a cross with the words "Something to Believe In". The tattoo artist, according to Michaels, had been drinking and spelled "believe" incorrectly putting the "e" before the "i". It was attempted to be corrected by adding a rose to the cross that covered the misspelling, but Michaels was never satisfied with the results. In the first season of the reality show Rock of Love, Michaels goes to a tattoo shop where the tattoo artist properly touches up the tattoo.
