1995 release

Following the release of the Stevie Wonder cover "I Believe", E'voke recorded the track with producers Barry Leng and Duncan Hannant. The resulting track was signed to Ffreedom (a subsidiary of FFRR and remixes were commissioned. One of the remixes was accredited to TTF and was similar in sound to TTF's remix of N-Trance's "Set You Free" which had been a major hit earlier in 1995. Jon Campbell of TTF denided that the remix was done by them.[1] A video to a slightly edited version of the Biff & Memphis edit was released which was later released on iTunes in 2011.[2]

Upon release, the track reached #30 in the UK Top 40 in November 1995 before falling to #49 the following week, then to #65.[3]

Later in 1995, a bootleg remix by Jimmy J & Cru-L-T was released.
