“I’m a Believer” is actually a song written by Neil Diamond but famously performed by The Monkees. It was released in 1966 and became a massive hit, topping the charts in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. The song’s upbeat and catchy melody, coupled with its optimistic lyrics about newfound love, made it an enduring pop classic.

The song “I’m a Believer” was written by Neil Diamond and became a hugely popular hit for The Monkees, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It’s considered one of the band’s signature songs and a classic of the 1960s pop/rock era.

While Neil Diamond is renowned for his own incredibly successful catalog of hit songs like “Sweet Caroline,” “Cracklin’ Rosie,” and “Song Sung Blue,” he did not personally record a version of “I’m a Believer.” That iconic song remains associated with The Monkees and their influential pop sound of the 1960s.
