"Believe" is a song by American musician Lenny Kravitz, released by Virgin Records on May 10, 1993, as the second single from his third album, Are You Gonna Go My Way (1993). It is a rock ballad with string orchestration, and was co-written, arranged and produced by Kravitz, with Henry Hirsch also contributing to the orchestration and composition. Its lyrics concern one being able to achieve freedom and "eternal grace" if they believe in themselves and put their faith in God.

"Believe" was the first song from the album to be issued as a commercial single and to chart in the United States,[2] where it reached number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It found bigger success internationally, reaching number one in Iceland and the top 10 in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The music video for the song was directed by Michel Gondry.
