Don't Stop Believin'
Midnight train song
"Don't Stop Believin'" is a 1981 rock anthem by Journey that has become a cultural touchstone for earnest optimism and perseverance.
The song's soaring chorus and piano riff make it instantly recognizable, frequently appearing at karaoke nights, sporting events, and moments calling for collective uplift.
Its title doubles as an imperative: Don't stop believin'—you'll get through this.
