"'Do You Believe in Us'" is a song by Cuban recording artist Jon Secada for his debut self-titled studio album and for his debut Spanish-language album 'Otro Da Ms Sin Verte' (1992). It was released in late 1992 as the third single from his Spanish-language album. The English version peaked at number 13 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100 and number three on the US 'Billboard' Hot Adult Contemporary chart, while the Spanish version peaked at number one on the US 'Billboard' Hot Latin Tracks chart. The song was also successful in Canada, reaching number three and topping the Adult Contemporary chart for one week. It was composed by Secada, Miguel Morejon, and Joseph Stefano, while Emilio Estefan Jr. produced the piece.
Production and success
Jon Secada was the backup vocalist for Cuban singer Gloria Estefan in 1989. Secada became close friends with Gloria and her husband, Emilio Estefan Jr., who helped guide Secada into the music business. Secada released his self-titled debut album in 1992 with SBK Records. The recording made up of English-language compositions and two Spanish-language tracks. It was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of three million copies. Secada, with the help from Emilio, decided to release an all Spanish-language album. During the recording sessions, Secada confirmed that Gloria helped translate his English-language recordings into Spanish. He said that she told him to record songs that he would be comfortably fine with singing throughout his career as a singer. She also told them not to "translate everything literally" but to "keep the same theme of the song in play."
"Cree En Nuestro Amor" was released as the third single from his Spanish album on 15 August 1992, peaking at number one on the US 'Billboard' Hot Latin Tracks on 27 February 1993.
