"She Believes in Me" is a song recorded by American country music singer Kenny Rogers. It was released in April 1979 as the second single from his 1978 album The Gambler. The song was written by American singer-songwriter Steve Gibb (not to be confused with Steve Gibb, son of Barry Gibb) who first released his version as a 7" single in 1978. A version by T. G. Sheppard appears on his 1978 album Daylight, released a month before Rogers' album.

The song is the tale of a struggling songwriter/performer who has a beloved who supports him, although he sometimes wonders why.
Kenny Rogers version
"She Believes in Me" became one of his biggest crossover hits in the late spring of 1979, reaching number one on the Billboard Country Singles chart. "She Believes in Me" also peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, and number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. It was also a minor pop hit in the UK, reaching number 42.
Record World said that it is "romantic" and features "Roger's lusty and mature delivery."
The melody of the chorus also somewhat resembles the chorus of "Lost Without Your Love" by soft rock band Bread (released in 1976), with the chords and structure having some similar properties.
The song "Como Ama una Mujer" ("How a Woman Loves") by Jennifer Lopez, the title track of her fifth album, has a melodic chorus which was noted for being similar to the song.
