"Faithful" is the fifth and final single from rapper Common's sixth album "Be". It is produced by Kanye West, who samples DJ Rogers' "Faithful to the End" for the song's beat. The sample was recreated by percussionist Ken Lewis. The song also features keyboard playing by James Poyser as well as guest vocals by John Legend and neo-soul singer Bilal. The song was not heavily promoted upon release and failed to chart.
