"Make Believe" is a song by the American rock band Toto, released as the second single (third in Europe) from their triple platinum 1982 album Toto IV. It peaked at number 19 in Cash Box magazine and at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on September 25, 1982. The song was also featured on the 2006 video game on the radio station Emotion 98.3.
Cash Box called it "sunny summer pop that should reach the top," saying that "the opening piano chords recall The Beach Boys."[3] Billboard described it as a "hard-edged yet downtempo love song," saying "Piano triplets point to '50s rock classics, while synthesizer and buzzsaw guitar accents underline its contemporary vintage."[4]
