"Unbelievable" is a song by British singer Craig David. It was written by David, Mark Taylor, and Paul Barry for his third studio album, The Story Goes... (2005). The third single from the album, it was rumoured to be a double A-side of fan-favourites, "Hypnotic" and "Johnny"; however, it was "Unbelievable" that was chosen. It became one of David's smallest hits to date, peaking at number 18 in the UK. The disappointing performance of the song in the UK, where the first two singles charted in the top five, led "Unbelievable" to be the final single from The Story Goes.... The song was slightly remixed for the single release.
