As the title implies (“Don’t Stop Believin’”), this song is based on the concepts of positivity thinking and remaining optimistic in the face of uncertainty. Its origins can famously be traced back to one of its co-writers, Steve Perry, calling his dad one day from Hollywood. He went there to pursue his dream of becoming a famous musician, but things weren’t working out for him. So he asked his dad if he should quit and come home, upon which his father replied, in summation, “don’t stop believing”. And Steve Perry and the rest of Journey were able to take that piece of inspiration and turn it into one of the greatest rock classics in the history of American music. Now let’s get back to the song’s lyrics meaning. In this song, the band depicts people from different walks of life who are facing challenges somewhat similar to what Steve went through. For instance, in the first verse we are introduced to two individuals who “took the midnight train”, as in ventured away from home, “going anywhere”. That is to say that they have set off into the unknown, more or less in search of their destiny. Then in the second verse we have “a singer in a smoky room”. In all it reads as if he is an itinerant entertainer. He appears to be a hustler who is just enjoying his gig for the night with no telling what fortune will come his way tomorrow. Indeed in the third verse we are made privy to the uncertainty the characters who make up this song (including the singer himself) face, as Perry states that “some will win; some will lose.” But the one thing they all have for common is that they are looking for something. Or as Steve sings in the pre-chorus in reference to the “streetlight people” (who are basically synonymous with city dwellers in general), they are “living just to find emotion”. Chorus of “Don’t Stop Believin'” But amidst it all, the chorus (which unconventionally comes at the end of the song) brings home the main point of this track. And that is even amidst this uncertainty and wandering if you will, these people should “hold on to that feeling” – as in a sense of optimism and destiny – and ‘not stop believing’. In other words, whatever they set forth looking for in the first place, as in “that feeling”, they should continue to strive for. This is intrinsically even in the face of obstacles, specifically within the context of this song perhaps those which evolve internally. And this general theme of this song is of course a piece of timeless, faith-based inspiration. Thus it is likely that “Don’t Stop Believin'” will continue to be a staple of American pop culture, as its overall sentiment is applicable to a variety of situations. Release Date of “Don’t Stop Believin’” Journey released this motivational song through Columbia Records on 6 October 1981. It was the lead song and second single from the band’s most-successful album titled Escape. Chart Performance It fared well upon its original release, peaking at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 62 on the UK Singles Chart. It also managed to chart in Australia, Canada and the Netherlands. However, “Don’t Stop Believin’” has proven to be a timeless hit, charting annually in the UK from 2008-2012. Furthermore, till date, it frequently makes appearances on the music charts in many countries around the world. This is largely due to the song being utilized in a number of different venues in pop culture in more-recent years. When this phenomena began is a matter of debate. Some say it started when the track was featured in the iconic 1998 film The Wedding Singer starring Adam Sandler. Others would argue it is due to the song playing a prominent role in the 2003 hit movie Monster, starring Charlize Theron. And still others may assert that this classic’s modern popularity is attributable to it being featured on the final episode of the hit television show The Sopranos in 2007. Popular Usage of “Don’t Stop Believin’” Indeed “Don’t Stop Believin’” has been featured in a quite a few movies and sports venues ( Major League Baseball games, being the theme song of the 2005 World Series’ champions Chicago White Sox). It has also appeared on many a television show, including popular sitcoms like The Simpsons and Glee. It is also commonly used in reality-based musical contests like X-Factor. In fact this song is also known to be a karaoke favorite. Talking about this song’s appearance in Glee, it should be noted that it has been performed, in varying capacities, on at least six different episodes of the show. And the rendition the cast released in 2010 was actually nominated for a Grammy Award, making it the only song from the show to ever accomplish this feat. Moreover a 2009 rendition of the song by X-Factor champion Joe McElderry charted higher on the UK Singles Chart than the original version of the track. Commercial Success in America Indeed in terms of digital sells, “Don’t Stop Believin’” set the record for being the top-selling song from the 20th century ( the pre-digital era), specifically in the United States. As of 2019, in the United States alone, it has sold in excess of 7 million copies. Many believe it was able to achieve this great feat due to it being featured The Sopranos. Covers of “Don’t Stop Believin’” And logically “Don’t Stop Believin’” has been covered by a number of musicians. Prominent names on this list include the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Sting and Lady Gaga. Who wrote “Don’t Stop Believin’”? Steve Perry wrote “Don’t Stop Believin'” along with fellow Journey band members Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon. The city of Detroit plays a prominent role in the composition of this song. Indeed Perry was inspired to write part of it by watching people in the Motor City. It’s no wonder, he gives a shoutout to “South Detroit” in the track’s lyrics. However, it has been pointed out that there is not actually a “South Detroit” as he references in the song. This is something Perry did not become aware of until more recently. And he has stated that he chose to say “South Detroit” (as opposed to ‘East’, ‘West’ or ‘North’) because it sounded better. On the production side, record producers Mike Stone as well as Kevin Elson handled the production of “Don’t Stop Believin’”). It’s important to mention that for several years both Stone and Elson were among the band’s regular collaborators.
