"I Believe" is a song originally written by Roland Orzabal of the British band Tears for Fears. It was the band's eleventh single release (the fifth taken from their sophomore LP Songs from the Big Chair) and ninth UK Top 25 chart hit. Although the single was not released in America, this re-recording of the song was done in the midst of the band's 1985 American tour. The music video for the song, based around the shirtless photo of Orzabal on the single's picture sleeve, was filmed in an aircraft hangar in Seattle, Washington. This is the first Tears for Fears release on which the band itself is listed as producer.

A cover of Robert Wyatt's "Sea Song" served as the single's b-side.
