George Michael - Faith ( s1.2 )

 

History

The song incorporates the famed Bo Diddley beat, a classic rock and roll rhythm. It begins with organ played by Chris Cameron, referencing Wham's song "Freedom", followed by guitar strumming, finger clicking, hand-claps, tambourine and hi-hat.

The song was featured in the film Bitter Moon, directed by Roman Polanski. More recently, it featured in Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One and plays during the wedding scene in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci.

Music video

The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan. It features Michael, with noticeable stubble on his face, wearing a black leather jacket with 'Rockers Revenge' and BSA logo, Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses and a pair of Levi's blue jeans with cowboy boots, playing a guitar near a classic-design Wurlitzer jukebox. Writers Bob Batchelor and Scott Stoddart say the music video positions him as a "masculine sex object", breaking him up into individual body parts such as "stubbled"  chin and butt.

The music video also features part of another song by Michael. The video starts by playing "I Want Your Sex", and then is interrupted by the jukebox starting into "Faith". The intro of "Faith" is the chorus of Wham!'s song "Freedom", played on a church organ.
