The sound of lead single and track 7 “WOT” is largely driven by a small two-note melody produced on a synth that changes its sound as the track goes on. Dance drums are played throughout the track, gradually building in intensity and complexity as the song gets closer to its end. Speaking on the production and writing of the song, Boom Bip notes that “Stella came to me with this killer Oberheim part, which is the main synth in the track… It has this driving energy and atonal quality that sits satisfyingly alone quite well.”
Mozgawa notes that the lead single was actually “added last minute to the album,” going on to say that the track “has a cheeky, mischievous spirit that we felt was missing from the record. It all came together quickly and in a shared flow state.”
In the music video for “WOT,” we see someone holding a crutch performing a simple dance in the street to the beat of the song. The video’s creator, Jim Hosking, notes that he “once glimpsed a man in Oxford busking by performing a one footed dance and he was making a lot of money,” explaining that “I remembered him when I heard the track “WOT” by Belief—the track burrows into your brain and never relents, rather like the one footed dance I once glimpsed in Oxford.”

Belief’s self-titled album will follow the April release of their previous EP, Versions.
