Lyrics from Diggiloo Thrush

Croire (English translation: "Believing") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988, performed in French by Lara Fabian.

The song is a ballad, with Fabian singing that she wants to believe in the good of humanity, rather than its dark side. She sings that "we have love within us", which is her central belief.

The song was performed seventeenth on the night (following Belgium's Reynaert with Laissez Briller Le Soleil and preceding Italy's Luca Barbarossa with Vivo (Ti Scrivo)). At the close of voting, it had received 90 points, placing 4th in a field of 21.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1989 Contest by Park Café with Monsieur.
