"True Believers" is a song co-written recorded by American country music artist Darius Rucker. It was released in August 2012 as his first single and title track from his album True Believers . Rucker wrote the song with Josh Kear. [1]
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that it "begins as a mild and unremarkable pop-country song before clever production and Rucker’s unforgettable voice find one soaring in the euphoria." [2] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, saying that it "showcases one of Darius strongest lyrics to date." [3]
Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the song a C grade, writing that "Rucker’s voice is marred by the usual spit-shine wall-of-sound Nashville production, thoroughly blocking the connection with the listener, and hindering what otherwise might have been a qualified success." [4]
The music video was directed by Jim Wright and premiered in October 2012. [5]
"True Believers" debuted at number 26 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of September 15, 2012, the highest debut of his career. [6]
