The Petracca Project haven’t given up hope in the powerful new video for their anthem I Still Believe — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The debut release from this bold new collaborative effort uniting songwriter C.P. Petracca, producer Ben Pelchat and vocalist Jeff Smith, I Still Believe is a rallying anthem of freedom aimed at inspiring listeners.
I Still Believe was intended to be pitched to other artists. However, the production process went so smoothly — and the track was so profound — that the team decided to release it on their own. The song taps into powerful emotions stemming from COVID lockdowns.
Petracca shared an early demo with vocalist Smith, who instantly connected with the song’s message. Smith recorded his initial vocal in his basement cold room — a makeshift studio during pandemic restrictions — and the raw, heartfelt performance resonated deeply with the production team. In the end, despite later opportunities to re-record in a professional studio, the team chose to use Smith’s original vocal. The emotion and authenticity captured in that unique moment, while he was literally locked down, felt irreplaceable.
