Records . It was written by Brian Higgins, Stuart McLennen, Paul Barry, Steven Torch, Matthew Gray and Timothy Powell, although Cher claimed later that she also wrote part, and was produced by Mark Taylor and Brian Rawling . A considerable departure from Cher's work at the time, "Believe" abandoned the singer's then pop rock - based repertoire in favor of being more club - friendly, in order to engage a younger audience . </P> <P> "Believe" is an upbeat dance - pop song . The song is one of the first commercial recordings to feature the audio processor software Auto - Tune as a vocal effect, used to produce the prominent altered effect on Cher's vocals . This technique would eventually become known as the "Cher effect". Lyrically, the song is about the personal empowerment and self - sufficiency after a painful break - up . Critically, "Believe" has been met with appreciation ever since its release; reviewers have praised its production, catchiness and club - friendly nature, and listed it as one of the singer's career highlights . The song was also nominated for two Grammy Awards; for Record of the Year and Best Dance Recording, winning the latter . </P>
