Release
"Believer" initially garnered airplay on United States modern rock radio in early 2013, and was later re-released to modern rock, triple A, hot adult contemporary and mainstream radio following the success of the band's second single "Best Day of My Life". A remix of the song by Dutch DJ Tiësto was issued as a digital single on July 22, 2014. There is an accompanying music video that shows two boys working together to build a time machine
