"You Made Me Believe in Magic" is a 1977 international hit single by the Bay City Rollers, taken from their album It's a Game. The recording, a mid-tempo disco-styled pop tune featuring strings and horns, had its greatest impact in North America, where it was issued as the album's lead single in May 1977 to reach number 10 on the US Hot 100 in Billboard magazine that August. "You Made Me Believe in Magic" was the Bay City Rollers' third US Top 10 hit; the follow-up single "The Way I Feel Tonight" (#25) would mark the group's final Hot 100 appearance. Outside the US, "You Made Me Believe in Magic" was typically issued as its parent album's second single, serving as a less successful followup to the "It's a Game" single: this was true in Australia (No. 36), Germany (No. 25), New Zealand (No. 39) and the UK (No. 34), where "You Made Me Believe in Magic" was the Bay City Rollers' twelfth and final chart hit. In Canada, however, the song enjoyed its greatest international popularity, where it peaked at number five, and ranks as the 68th greatest hit of 1977.[1] Chicago radio superstation WLS, which gave the song much airplay, ranked "You Made Me Believe in Magic" as the 27th most popular hit of 1977.[2] It reached as high as number 2 on their survey of July 30, 1977.

I believed all love has gone
I've no strength to carry on
Thought my world was upside down

Then you walked on to my life
Went to work to set things right
What's the secret that you use

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put magic into my life

Now I'm filled with new sense to be
You gave my life harmony
Loving you is all I need

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put magic into my life
