This song was also recorded by British female vocal duo E'voke in 1994 as their debut single (with the title being shortened to "I Believe"). A B-side to the track titled "It's My Life" written by E'voke producers Barry Leng and Duncan Hannant was recorded. Though the track was not a commercial hit (it reached #77 in the UK charts [2] and no video was filmed for the track), it was a club hit and E'voke moved on to FFRR's sister label Ffrreedom for their next single " Runaway". The CD single release of the track was released digitally by Pinball Records in 2011.
