I'm a Believer - Neil Diamond - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Neil Diamond wrote “I’m a Believer” in 1966 and initially recorded his own rendition for his 1967 album Just for You. His version was more mellow and reflective, but the song achieved massive success when The Monkees recorded it with Micky Dolenz on lead vocals—produced by Jeff Barry—reaching Number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks starting late December 1966, and becoming the best-selling single of 1967. The track also topped charts across Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, and the UK. Neil Diamond’s own recording later re-charted as a minor hit in 1971, reaching number 61 in Canada’s Top Singles and number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single’s upbeat, catchy structure features energetic rhythm, memorable chord progression, and a joyous chorus—elements that helped turn “I’m a Believer” into an enduring pop classic and a defining moment in Neil Diamond’s career as a songwriter and artist.
