Tapping into our hunger to rekindle life’s euphoric sparks, Louis The Child and Madeon’s new collaboration, “Believe It,” isn’t as much a song as it is a locket.
Shimmering with nostalgic charm, the effervescent track transports us to those sun-dappled days awash in the warm glow of a new romance. Madeon’s melancholic musings flutter atop a breezy house beat from Louis The Child, a dancefloor-ready groove with an indie undertow. “So why don’t we go back to where it began / So I believe it again,” he implores.
An undeniable summer hit with steel drums for days, “Believe It” reinforces both Louis The Child and Madeon’s mastery of profoundly resonant dance-pop. It’s an adrenaline shot of romantic vulnerability straight to the listener’s core, daring us to leave our emotional baggage behind and embrace love’s rejuvenating possibilities.
But beneath the song’s uplifting veneer lie deeper existential whispers about the fragility of human connection in our rapidly evolving digital age, its lyrics confronting how even the most deeply felt intimacies can fade into little more than wistful memories over time. “Believe It” encapsulates that relatable headspace while simultaneously energizing audiences with its stadium-scaled emotional swell.
Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett of Louis The Child, who first met at a Madeon show, called the song’s release “a real full circle moment.” The French electronic music superstar was also the first artist to ever take the duo on tour, they said in a press release.
“I remember when I first met Louis The Child—I knew something special was going to happen for them,” Madeon gushed. “It’s been fun watching their career blossom! When they asked me to collaborate, it felt like such a fun, full-circle moment. Making ‘Believe It’ was such a joyful, spontaneous experience. I hope that spirit comes across in the music! It makes me feel like what being a teen in the 90s must have felt like, that first wave of French house music.”
