"Believers" is a song by British-Norwegian DJ Alan Walker and British singer-songwriter Conor Maynard. It was released on May 14, 2021.[1]
Background
They met five years ago when Conor released a video cover of Alan's hit song "Faded" on his YouTube channel, and began working on the song. About the song, Walker said, "Believers is a song I started writing while I was in quarantine from the Corona Disaster. I wanted to write a song that would make people happy and allow them to escape for a little while. When I started thinking about who I wanted to do the vocals, Conor was the first person that came to mind, so I am very happy with the finished song.[2]
About the song, Conor said, "When I released the cover video for 'Faded' five years ago, I never thought I would see the day when I would be able to make an original song with Alan himself. When I received the track for 'Believers,' I couldn't wait to record it, and now I can't wait for everyone to hear it!"[2]
Music video
The music video features Walker and Conor battling the evil organization Red Nexus, combining live-action footage with gameplay videos of Walker's favorite gamers and effects technology to create spectacular visuals.[3]
