Please "Believe" that Jake Owen will not allow people to diss the LGBTQ community.

The country singer took on an Instagram commenter who had words to say regarding Owen's latest song.

He recently debuted a preview of his cover of Cher's 1998 hit "Believe" on his official Instagram account.

"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," Owen wrote in the caption. "I'm inspired by people loving people no matter who you are."

Rascal Flatts aren't quite sure why, year after year, their music continues to resonate with fans -- they're just happy it does.

"It's just a God thing, really," band mate Joe Don Rooney says, shaking his head in amazement. "To be here this many years later and still be relevant, still creating music that people wanna hear ... it's phenomenal."

It may be cliche for an artist to say that they pinch themselves every day, even decades into a successful career, but the trio really does feel that way -- especially now, in the middle of their successful Summer Playlist Tour. "I mean, it's selling out everywhere. Things just couldn't be any better," Rooney continues.

"You've just gotta give God all the glory for giving us a platform to still continue to make music and do what we love to do and be able to touch peoples' hearts," he adds. "We'll be here as long as they'll have us."

However, that doesn't mean that Rascal Flatts haven't thought about how the group will change as they get older. "It's an interesting question," admits Jay DeMarcus.
