Ali Gatie was born to Iraqi parents in Yemen in 1997. His family moved to Abu Dhabi before settling in Mississauga, Ontario. He grew up listening to Ed Sheeran, J. Cole and Frank Ocean, who influenced his music.
Gatie started pursuing a music career at the age of 18 and started to record in 2016. This decision later caused him to drop out of university.[2] In 2017, he won an online RhymeStars competition hosted by Joe Budden. After releasing a string of singles in 2018, he was signed by Warner Records.[3] The song "Moonlight" would turn out to be his first commercial success, garnering nearly 14 million views on YouTube. However, the release of "It's You" in June 2019 would become his mainstream breakthrough;[4] an "explosive streaming story," as of December 2019, it had exceeded 650 million streams.[5][6] On 8 November 2019, Gatie released his first album, You. A 12-minute film accompanied the release, which included seven new songs.[7] Gatie's snippet of his next single "What If I Told You That I Love You," released on the video-sharing social networking app TikTok, went viral, amassing over 20 million engagements. Released in January 2020, the single was described by Rolling Stone as "a breezy, springtime-fresh midtempo track" and peaked at number 36 on Billboard's Hot Canadian Digital Song Sales Chart.
Do You Believe
Ali Gatie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't have to pack our things
We'll be gone by seven
We could fly without no wings
And I need you to trust me
Always gonna keep you safe, yeah
This is no illusion
We don't belong in this place anyway
I want forever today
You don't gotta understand
All you gotta do is take this ride
Yeah, we don't gotta make no plan
Not until we see the morning light
When the rising sun hits your face
I'll know that I've found my place
Yeah, I'm just tryna understand
Do you believe in love?
Do you? Do you?
(Dollar $ign)
Ride out the the moon in my space coupe, yeah
We just vibin' in the city of the angels, yeah
Don't believe them things they tell you 'cause it ain't true, yeah
Just give me your honesty, I'll give you my trust
Yeah, you got the best on Earth, I feel like just like Russ
Let's go to the stars, yeah, I think we'll fit in perfect
Baby, let your guard down, you ain't gotta be so nervous
Tell me tell you everything, you ain't let me get a word in
We don't belong in this place anyway
I want forever today
You don't gotta understand
All you gotta do is take this ride
Yeah, we don't gotta make no plan
Not until we see the morning light
When the rising sun hits your face
I'll know that I've found my place
Yeah, I'm just tryna understand
Do you believe in love?
Do you? Do you?
Do you believe in love?
Do you? Do you?
Do you believe in love?
The song "Do You Believe" by Ali Gatie is a romantic ballad that speaks about escaping from reality and being with someone you love without worrying about any kind of plan. It starts with the idea of leaving everything behind and starting a new life together, without any need to pack things, and just flying away. The lyrics express a desire to find eternal love and a desperate need for the other person's trust. This is not a temporary or illusionary feeling, but rather a true emotion built to last forever.
The singer emphasizes the importance of being in the moment, of living the present without thinking too much about the future. He wants to enjoy life with his partner and doesn't want to understand what love is or how it works, but he wants to experience it with her. The choice of words and the rhythm of the song perfectly capture the idea of a light-hearted, carefree moment between two people in love.
The chorus repeats the question: Do you believe in love? The answer is not important, as the singer just wants to be with the other person and doesn't need any justification for their mutual feelings. The bridge features a rap verse by Dollar$ign, which highlights the idea of two people being in their own bubble, away from any outside influence, and creating their own world together, where trust and honesty are paramount.
Overall, "Do You Believe" is a powerful song that captures the essence of love and the desire to escape the chaos of the world and simply be with the person we love, no matter where that may be.
