On the country singles chart dated for September 20, "Do You Believe Me Now" fell to number two, when Brad Paisley's " Waitin' on a Woman" took over the top spot. It also became Wayne's second single to peak in the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 36, and it was also his first top 40 hit on that chart since " Paper Angels". "Do You Believe Me Now" reached Number One on the Hot Country Songs chart for the week of September 13, 2008, marking not only Wayne's first number-one hit, but the first for the Valory Music Group imprint. Scenes also feature him playing guitar on a stairwell and standing against a large window. Each time the woman and her new lover are in a scene, Wayne pauses the film and watches in silence. He puts the camera down in disappointment. Later, the man again approaches her and makes her laugh, right as Wayne turns the camera on them. The camera then keeps filming as another man walks into the scene and starts talking to her. The camera follows the woman around and reveals that it is Wayne's lover when they kiss.
It then zooms out to reveal Wayne watching the party on TV himself. The music video for this song was directed by Deaton-Flanigen Productions, and begins with Wayne filming a woman's birthday party.
They played the song for Wayne, who liked the song and decided to record it.
He got together with friends Dave Pahanish and Joe West to write the song, and it was finished after about a month. In the bridge, the narrator is unable to find solace in this knowledge, as he says, "what's the use in being right when I'm the lonely one tonight?"Īccording to Country Weekly, songwriter Tim Johnson was encouraged to write the song after his friend was with another girl. The second verse then finds the narrator feeling sorry for himself because he gave the other male a chance to take her away from him.
In the chorus, the narrator then asks the female if she believes him now, as it turns out his suspicions were correct and she is now with that other man. In the first verse, he tells her that he "didn't like the way" that another man was looking at her, to which she responds by saying that it was only the narrator's imagination. The song is a mid-tempo centralizing on the male narrator, who is speaking to a former lover.
