"Faith" is the third track on Prequelle by Ghost. The track was released as the third and final single from the album, the band's fourth studio album. It peaked at number six on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in September 2019.

Background[]

The song title was first revealed in February 2018, and later debuted in a live setting in early May 2018, almost a month prior to its release on its respective studio album, Prequelle. A music video was released on December 20, 2018. The video consists of live performance footage from the band's North American leg of their tour "A Pale Tour Named Death", and was released to celebrate the completion of the first leg of the tour[1]. The video was directed by Bill Yukich. The video includes footage of crowds watching the band performing the song in front of the stage backdrop that was made to look like the outside of a church, with stained glass windows showing off incarnations of Cardinal Copia and Papa Emeritus.

An official lyric video was released for the song on July 11, 2019[2]. The lyric video is gruesome, featuring clips of a lobotomy behind the displayed lyrics of the song. The visuals of the song were produced by Zev Deans.

Composition and themes[]

The song is an original composition, of no relation to the frequently covered George Michael[3] song "Faith". The song contains "soaring" heavy guitar riffs and "gospel-adjacent melodies". The song is one of few that features frontman Tobias Forge on lead guitar.
