Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"I Believe in You" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her ninth greatest hits compilation, Ultimate Kylie (2004). It was written by Minogue alongside its producers Jake Shears and Babydaddy. It was released as the lead single from Ultimate Kylie on 29 November 2004, by Parlophone. "I Believe in You" is a pop and Euro disco song in which Minogue proclaims there are many things in which she does not believe, but that she does believe in her lover.
"I Believe in You" received positive reviews from music critics. Commercially the song was also successful, reaching number one on the Romanian Top 100, number two in the United Kingdom and at number six in Australia. The song became a dance club hit in the United States, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2005 and earning a nomination for a 2006 Grammy Award in the "Best Dance Recording" category.
The accompanying music video for "I Believe in You" was directed by Vernie Yeung and choreographed by Rafael Bonachela. The premise of the futuristic video involved Minogue performing different scenarios within a studio filled with colourful neon lights. The clip opens with Minogue standing in the centre of a large "sphere" enclosed by neon lights as it revolves around her. Upon reaching the second verse, a new sphere, with a new set of lights, is added around Minogue, as she wears a new costume and glitter around her eyes. These notable high-end visual effects were done by Soho-based company The Mill, who were responsible for enhancing the light bars on these spheres, as well as adding a new light with each new sphere introduced. The video progresses to Minogue dancing before a psychedelic flash of swirling colours, before resolving to a black background lit up by a troupe of dancers wearing "glow effects". It was revealed that these multi-coloured light bulbs were actually attached to the bodies of the dancers, who had to carry their power sources around in makeshift "shopping" bags for the duration of the shoot. As the video concludes, these four sequences are then intercut amongst each other until they gradually fade out.
Costumes for the video were designed by Dolce & Gabbana, and consisted of a series of dresses which Minogue described as "floaty", including a dress of purple silk chiffon with gold mesh fabric bra-top and girdle, worn with gold metallic shoes made by Chloé. They were then donated to the Arts Centre Melbourne (displayed in the Kylie Minogue Collection) by Kylie herself in 2006.
