"Faith" is a song by English singer and songwriter George Michael. Written and produced by Michael, it was released via Columbia Records as the second single from his 1987 debut solo album of the same name. It held the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks and, according to Billboard magazine, was the number-one single of the year in the United States in 1988. The song also reached number one in Australia and Canada and number two on the UK Singles Chart. In 2001, it placed at number 322 on the Songs of the Century list. [3]

Writing and recording

As with the rest of the album, the track was written, arranged, and produced by Michael. [4] It is claimed that the idea came from publisher Dick Leahy's suggestion that Michael write a rock and roll pastiche. [5] The song began life in May 1987 at Puk Studios in Gjerlev, Denmark, with Michael doing a 2-bar LinnDrum loop and Hugh Burns playing the Bo Diddley-style acoustic rhythm guitar part on a nameless metal-bodied acoustic. [6] [1] Long-time bassist Deon Estus laid down a bass part, while the cathedral organ part was recorded with a Yamaha DX7 (although some sources state it is from a Roland D-50). [1] [7] While recording the vocals on the Faith album and other subsequent solo albums, Michael would usually write lyrics in front of the mic, and build the lead vocal by singing a line, each time he had Chris Porter rewind the tape so he could drop in at certain points to create the right emotional effect with his voice. [1] For this song, George wanted the vocals to be "dry and in-your-face", like on Prince's songs at the time, which Porter noted "had a very tight delay on the vocals, making him sound very growly but dry and aggressive"—it was that kind of effect they managed to recreate with an AMS digital delay. [1]

Work on the song later resumed on 1 September 1987, when a new bridge added and a 1950s-inspired guitar solo by Burns—played on a Geffen custom Stratocaster [6] —were added at Sarm West Studio 2 in London. [1] According to Porter, the solo was constructed bar-by-bar over a period of 4 hours in a similar fashion to recording George's vocals. [1]

Michael never thought of releasing "Faith" as a single in the beginning but once he decided it was going to be released he extended the song length to add the guitar solo, as explained in an interview with Countdown in 1988:

"Faith" was never actually intended as a single when I first recorded it. And then I listened to it more and more and... 'cause in fact, originally it was two minutes long. Originally there was no guitar solo. There was no real guitar sound on it or anything. And everyone said it's great, it's great but it's too short, you know. And everyone kept saying that "I love 'Faith', I love 'Faith'". So I thought, well maybe I should put it out as a single when it came to that. I said, I think a two-minute long single is a bit, you know... so I went in and extended it. But it was originally never intended as a single. It was just gonna be a small track on the album, a really short track. [8]

History

The song incorporates the famed Bo Diddley beat, a classic rock and roll rhythm. [9] It begins with organ played by Chris Cameron, referencing Wham!'s song "Freedom", followed by guitar strumming, finger clicking, hand-claps, tambourine and hi-hat. [5]

The song was featured in the film Bitter Moon , directed by Roman Polanski. [10] More recently, it featured in Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One [11] and plays during the wedding scene in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci . [12] It also featured in TV show Eli Stone with a cameo from George Michael.

Music video

The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan. [13] It features Michael, with noticeable stubble on his face, wearing a black leather jacket with 'Rockers Revenge' and BSA logo, Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses and a pair of Levi's blue jeans with cowboy boots, playing a guitar near a classic-design Wurlitzer jukebox, and a woman's bare legs. Writers Bob Batchelor and Scott Stoddart say the music video positions him as a "masculine sex object", breaking him up into individual body parts such as "stubbled" [ sic ] chin and butt. [14]

The music video also features part of another song by Michael. The video starts by playing "I Want Your Sex", and then is interrupted by the jukebox starting into "Faith".

Chart performance

The song reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number two on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in late October and early November 1987. [15]

On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, "Faith" went from number 54 to number 37, the week of 31 October 1987. It reached number one on 12 December 1987 and remained there for four consecutive weeks. Altogether, "Faith" stayed in the top 10 for nine weeks, the top 20 for 11 weeks and the top 40 for 15 weeks.[ citation needed ]

American rap rock band Limp Bizkit covered the song "Faith" in their live performances, using the cover to attract attention to the band. Word of mouth attendance and energetic live performances in which guitarist Wes Borland appeared in bizarre costumes increased the band's cult following. Audiences, in particular, were attracted to Borland's guitar playing and appearance. [65]

Despite the success of the song in Limp Bizkit's live performances, producer Ross Robinson was opposed to recording the cover for their debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all , and tried to persuade the band not to play it on the album. However, the final recording, which incorporated heavier guitar playing and drumming, as well as DJ scratching, impressed Robinson. [65] "I love George Michael and decided to cover 'Faith' for fun. We like to do really aggressive versions of cheesy pop hits," lead singer Fred Durst told Billboard . "I didn't expect him to get busted in that bathroom but his misfortune actually helped us. We couldn't ask for more of a buzz." [66]

Peter Berg directed a music video featuring a bizarre wedding monologue for the song in promotion for its appearance in his film Very Bad Things , [67] but Durst was unsatisfied with it and directed a second video which paid tribute to tourmates such as Primus, Deftones and Mötley Crüe, who appeared in the video. [68] Borland stated in an interview that George Michael, the writer of the song, hated the cover and "hates us for doing it". [68]
