"'I Believe'" is a song by British house studio project Happy Clappers, featuring singer Sandra Edwards on vocals, released as the debut single from their only album, 'Games' (1997). It was mixed by Nobby (aka Martin Neary) and re-released two times during 1995, before it peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart. But on the UK Dance Chart, it was even more successful, reaching number-one. In 1997, a remix reached number 28 in the UK. Six years later, in 2003, a remix by American DJ Chris Cox peaked at number-one on the US 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart, finally seeing the track being released also in the US. It remains the project most successful release to date and is by many considered a classic of its genre. A music video was produced to promote the single, featuring a zebra.

Howard Cohen from 'Knight-Ridder Newspapers' described the song as "a pounding house number with a contagious minor-key piano riff."Cohen, Howard (28 July 1995). "Compact discs create club at home". p. 5C. 'Messenger-Inquirer'. A reviewer from 'Music Week' rated "I Believe" four out of five, calling it an "up tempo happy house anthem that proved so popular in Ibiza." James Hamilton from their 'RM' Dance Update declared it as a "diva and chants prodded powerful piano built percussive groove".
