It was released in October 1981. "Don't Stop Believin'" shares writing credits between the band's vocalist Steve Perry, guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain. The band fleshed out the song in the studio and then recorded the instrumental tracks in one take at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California. A top-10 worldwide hit in 1981, "Don't Stop Believin'" became Journey’s signature song and has continued to endure over the years. Decades after its release, in 2012 it became the best-selling digital track from the twentieth century, with over seven million downloads by 2017. The song gained press coverage and a sharp growth in popularity for its use for The Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series championship and in 2007, the famous final scene of HBO’s The Sopranos. Cain had kept the song title from encouragement his father gave him as a struggling musician living on Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard: don’t stop believin’!
