"Believe" was the second single from The Chemical Brothers 2005 album Push the Button. The single was released in early May 2005 and peaked at #18 in the charts (see 2005 in music). The song features Bloc Party's Kele Okereke on vocals. The song was featured in the 2005 snowboarding video "Flavor Country" by Sandbox. It was also featured as the final boss theme in the Portal mod, Portal: Prelude.

Music video

The music video, directed by Dom and Nic, contains scenes filmed at the now defunct MG Rover Longbridge plant. It starts out with a man watching women in an exercise video dance on a window TV in a store, possibly spoofing the then-recent video for Eric Prydz's single "Call On Me". The video depicts a paranoid factory worker terrified of the automated assembly robot he operates, possibly under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs. He becomes increa, first imagining the machines watching and threatening him, then seeing them outside the factory, chasing him before being disappearing. Finally, the man is pursued to the top of the building by one of the arms, where it lunges at him before disappearing. He runs onto the street, and sees multiple machines lumbering toward him, and his view of the world desintegrates into a mess of geometric shapes and colours. He collapses, laughing hysterically as robots disappear once again.
