"She Believes In Me" is a song recorded by American country music singer Kenny Rogers. It was released in April 1979 as the second single from his album The Gambler. The song was written and first recorded by Steve Gibb (not the Steve Gibb who is the son of Barry Gibb).

Content

The song is the tale of a songwriter who has a beloved who supports him, although he sometimes wonders why.

Kenny Rogers version

Rogers was reaching the peak of his career at this time, and "She Believes In Me" became one of his biggest crossover hits in the late spring of 1979, reaching number one on the Billboard Country Singles chart.[1] "She Believes in Me" also peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, and number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[2] It was also a minor pop hit in Great Britain reaching number 42.[3]

The melody of the chorus also somewhat resembles the chorus of "Lost Without Your Love" by soft rock band Bread (released in 1976), with the chords and structure having some similar properties.

Other versions

In 1979, Johnny Mathis recorded for his album "Mathis Magic", and Dutch-speaking Belgian pop singer Will Tura sang a Dutch version of the song called "Zij gelooft in mij".

Two years later, in 1981, the late Dutch singer André Hazes wrote another Dutch version of the song also called "Zij gelooft in mij". Although both songs bear the same name, the text is completely different. It is also the title of an award winning documentary by John Appel about André Hazes's life.[10]

Icelandic singer Pálmi Gunnarsson recorded an Icelandic version of the song called "Hún hefur trú á mér", which appears on his 1980 album "Hvers vegna varst' ekki kyrr?".

Punk rock cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes recorded a version of "She Believes in Me" for their 2006 album, Love Their Country.

In 2011 Scotty McCreery performed this song on American Idol as his third number in the May 17 episode. It was chosen for him to sing by the judges.

Around the same time, a Dutch female singer Dominique van Hulst, better known as 'Do', covered the song as "Hij gelooft in mij" (He believes in me).

The song is also covered in Portuguese by Maria de Fátima.
