The songs starts with fading-in distorted noises generated by guitars and Jon Bon Jovi's voice, until a furious guitar takes place. After the instrumental intro, the voice enters into scene.
This song fits the classical hard rock song structure: intro, verse, bridge, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, solo, second bridge and chorus to end.
Tracks 2, 3 and 4 were recorded live on the New Jersey and Keep the Faith Tours. The dates or locations of the shows aren't available due to their absence from the liner notes.
"I Believe" was played extensively during the "Keep the Faith Tour" (1993) and the "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead Tour" (1993) and on occasion on the Crush Tour (2000). Since then, it has been barely played and has become one of the rarest songs to be played live. It was played once in Germany during the 2003 Bounce Tour, once in London during the 2008 Lost Highway Tour, and most recently, once in Sydney, Australia during the 2010 Circle Tour. When played live, this song features both Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi at guitar.
