"Believe Me Baby"
Song

"Believe Me Baby (I Lied)" is a 1996 single released by American country artist Trisha Yearwood. It was Yearwood's fourth #1 hit out of the five #1 hits during the course of her career.

Content

The song depicts a woman who is apologizing to her lover after saying she wanted him out of her life. She realized it had really been her "wounde pride" telling the lover to leave.

The song was written by Kim Richey, Angelo, and Larry Gottlieb and was the first single off of her album, Everybody Knows. The song was a #1 country hit for Yearwood and the title track of the album reached the Top 5 later in 1997. The song was done in a Adult Contemporary-like style according to Allmusic.com. [1]

Music video

A music video was also made after the song's release, showcasing Yearwood and friends in retro outfits, vintage glasses and vivid colors and backdrops. As revealed in an interview on CMT's Video bio, some of the clothing Yearwood wore in the video was raided from the closet of her then-husband Robert Reynolds. The video aired on CMT later that year.
