Jake Owen and his band leader Lukas Bracewell shared a message of love and acceptance on Tuesday (June 25) via Instagram, with a countrified rehash of Cher's "Believe." The duo replace the 1998 hit's auto tuned vocals and dance beats with acoustic guitar and banjo accompaniment, creating a campfire singalong vibe.

“I believe #loveislove,” Owen wrote. “Some of my closest friends and coworkers, are part of the #lgbt community and I couldn’t be more happy for the progress they have made. I’m inspired by people loving people no matter who you are. I BELIEVE the world needs more love. No matter where it comes from. So with that said, I googled 'gayest' songs of all time and the boys and I decided to put our country spin on Cher’s 'Believe.' Hope you dig. I plan on releasing all of these backstage random songs we’ve created very very soon. Stay tuned friends, and most importantly, love everyone.”
