"I Believe (A Soulful Re-Recording)" is a single by the British band Tears for Fears. It was the band's eleventh single release, and as a live re-recording of a song from their second LP Songs from the Big Chair, it effectively served as that album's fifth single. It was Tears for Fears' ninth UK Top 40 hit (peaking at No.23). The song also reached the Top 10 in Ireland and peaked at No.28 in New Zealand.
The song was written by Roland Orzabal, who dedicated the song to Robert Wyatt in the liner notes of Songs from the Big Chair. This message was accompanied by the addendum "(If he's listening)", which references the song "Dedicated to You but You Weren't Listening" from Wyatt's old band Soft Machine. The B-side to "I Believe (A Soulful Re-Recording)" was a cover of Wyatt's "Sea Song", which first appeared on his Rock Bottom album.
For the re-recording, Orzabal shouts "William!" prior to a saxophone solo. The shout was directed at Tears for Fears' touring saxophonist of the time, Will Gregory, who also appeared in the song's music video.
