The song 's writers designated the musically similar sections before the chorus as the `` pre-chorus. '' The song 's structure is : Introduction ( instrumental ) ( 0 : 00 -- 0 : 17 ) Verse 1 ( 0 : 17 -- 0 : 49 ) Instrumental ( 0 : 49 -- 1 : 05 ) Verse 2 ( half - length ) ( 1 : 05 -- 1 : 20 ) Pre-chorus 1 ( 1 : 20 -- 1 : 54 ) Instrumental ( 1 : 54 -- 2 : 01 ) Verse 3 ( 2 : 01 -- 2 : 33 ) Pre-chorus 2 ( 2 : 33 -- 3 : 05 ) Instrumental ( chorus ) ( 3 : 05 -- 3 : 21 ) Chorus until fade ( 3 : 21 -- 4 : 11 ) The song is played in the key of E major at a tempo of 118 beats per minute. The vocal range is E -- C#. The chord progression, played by the piano in the introduction and continued throughout most of the song, is eight chords long, following a I - V - vi - IV - I - V - iii - IV progression. The title of the song came from something keyboardist Jonathan Cain 's father frequently told him when he was a struggling musician living on Los Angeles ' Sunset Boulevard ready to give up because he was not having success in the music industry. Each time he would call home in despair, his father would tell him, `` Do n't stop believing or you 're done, dude. '' While the lyrics mention being `` born and raised in south Detroit '', the area that would be considered south Detroit is actually the Canadian city of Windsor. Steve Perry has said, `` I tried north Detroit, I tried east and west and it did n't sing, but south Detroit sounded so beautiful. I loved the way it sounded, only to find out later it 's actually Canada.

( September 2016 ) In 2007, the song gained press coverage and a sharp growth in popularity for its use in the famous final scene of HBO 's The Sopranos series finale `` Made in America. '' Steve Perry was initially hesitant to allow the song to be used in The Sopranos but later agreed. Digital downloads of the song soared following the episode 's airing and the exposure motivated the band members to overcome the struggles they were having at the time and find a replacement lead singer after Perry 's departure. The song was released as downloadable content for the music video game series Rock Band on March 31, 2009. The song is referred to in the chorus of the song `` This 'll Be My Year '' performed by Train on their album California 37, in which Pat Monahan sings `` I stopped believin ', although Journey told me ' do n't ' ''. The song has been a rallying cry for a multitude of sports teams, first by the Chicago White Sox in their successful run to the 2005 World Series, when catcher A.J. Pierzynski and teammates heard the song being sung in a bar in Baltimore. The White Sox invited former Journey lead singer Steve Perry to the team 's celebration rally, where he sang the song along with several members of the team. In 2008, in a tight battle for first place with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West, the Los Angeles Dodgers began to play `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' in the middle of the 8th inning at all of their home games. Subsequently, the song was played at Dodger home games throughout the 2009 season, much to the chagrin of Perry, a self - proclaimed San Francisco Giants fan. The song also became the unofficial anthem for the Giants ' 2010 postseason, especially after local musician Ashkon created a parody version of the song following their winning the 2010 National League West Division. The song was used during the end montage following the Fox network 's coverage of the 2010 World Series, which was won by the Giants. Perry appeared in the Giants ' subsequent victory parade, and the song was played at the start of the Giants ' victory rally. Perry has appeared at several Giants home games at AT&T Park during the 2014 postseason, leading the crowd in singing `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' during the `` 8th inning sing - along '' when the Giants are tied or behind in the score ; when the Giants are ahead the crowd sings `` Lights '' instead. The song has for years been commonly played at Detroit Red Wings hockey games ; at Red Wings home games ( especially during the last minutes of playoff victories ), the recording is turned down during the line `` born and raised in south Detroit '' so the home fans can sing the line from the song. It is also used at numerous Detroit sporting events. Prior to the beginning of the 2014 season Mississippi State Head Football Coach Dan Mullen asked the DJ at Davis Wade Stadium to play `` Do n't Stop Believin '' between the third and fourth quarters of each Bulldog home game. MSU fans immediately took to the song and began to sway and ring the cowbells that they traditionally bring to home games in sync with the beat while singing along. `` Oh, man. I love that song, '' said MSU defensive end Preston Smith. `` When it comes on, it gets the whole stadium going. It 's a great energy, I love it. I think I was out there in the Auburn game doing a drum solo. '' Chart performance The song reached number eight on Billboard 's Mainstream Rock chart, and number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It sold over a million copies in vinyl. It is the No. 1 paid digital download song originally released in the 20th century, and was also the 72nd most downloaded song of 2008, and 84th most downloaded song of 2009 in the store, over 27 years after its release. On August 31, 2009 the song topped the 3 million mark in paid downloads. It is the best - selling digital song from a pre-digital - era, and it was also the best - selling rock song in digital history until it was over taken by Imagine Dragons ' `` Radioactive '' in January 2014. It was placed just outside the top twenty best selling digital songs of all time in September 2010. It has sold over 6.8 million digital units in the US as of September 2016 and is the best selling digital track recorded in the 1980s. `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' has entered other charts across the world in recent years, following a gain in popularity. In Canada the song peaked at number 2, at number 4 in Ireland, at 25 in Sweden after many chart runs, and at number 50 in the Dutch charts. The power ballad is one of the most popular rock tracks in Ireland and continues to remain in the top ten most downloaded songs. UK Chart success The song was released in the United Kingdom in December 1981 and peaked only at number 62. `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '', never re-released in the UK, retained a cult following and re-entered the UK Singles Chart in February 2009 at number 94, due to digital downloads. On November 1, 2009, following a performance on The X Factor, `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' re-entered the chart at number 52, and it rose to number 19 a week later. The song stayed in the charts for three weeks, before dropping out of the top 40. On December 20 that year, `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' re-entered the chart at number 9 after the song was performed again on The X Factor. The song remained in the top 10 for another seven weeks in 2010, hitting a peak of number 6 in the process. In early 2010, it was announced that the song had been the 65th best - selling single of 2009. `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' spent a total of 21 non-consecutive weeks in the top 40 during its November 2009 -- April 2010 run. `` Do n't Stop Believin ' '' was the 25th best - selling track of 2010, selling just over 435,000 copies. It re-entered the charts in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and to date has spent 95 weeks in the top 100. In September 2014, the Official Charts Company listed the song as having sold a Million copies in the UK.
