About Faith (feat. Mr. Probz)

"Faith" is a song by Swedish duo Galantis and American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton featuring Dutch singer-songwriter Mr Probz, from Galantis' upcoming third studio album Church, which is scheduled for release in early 2020. The song was released on 25 October 2019, through Big Beat and Atlantic Records. It is a remix of John Hiatt's 1987 song "Have a Little Faith in Me". The song was co-written by Samuel James, who co-wrote the closing single on the movie "Abominable", sung by Bebe Rexha, and produced by Worcester natives David Saint Fleur and Eric Aukstikalnis. Samuel James said the song began by taking John Hiatt's song, "Have a Little Faith in Me", and rewriting the verse, lyrics and melody. He said: "Almost all the credit on this record goes to David Saint Fleur. David has this crazy idea, what did we took this song, and flipped it and made a dance track." James said Saint Fleur showed it to the members of Galantis, who loved it and wanted to record it. According to James, Saint Fleur also wanted to approach Parton. At the beginning, no one thought would work on this plan, but Saint Fleur insisted, and finally was able to play it for her. Samuel James noted that "she fell in love with it". "It's so unbelievable. That's the fun thing about music, you know, Sometimes that can happen", he added. According to him, the song has evolved greatly from the original recorded version, and that while he was once singing on it, his only vocal presence on the final product is that he's singing uncredited on the chorus, and that his voice is unrecognizable. "This song has been such a journey. There's an orchestra from the Netherlands. A five-piece orchestra. I'm psyched for people to hear it. John Hiatt gave his blessing, and he's tough!", he said.
