Believe is the fourth album (including Christmas with The Jets) recorded with MCA records by the family group The Jets, at this point composed of siblings Eddie, Elizabeth, Haini, Kathi, Leroy, Moana and Rudy Wolfgramm (eighth member, Gene had left the band by this time). It featured all new material, including the singles "You Better Dance" and "The Same Love". The album had very little promotion and only peaked at #107 on the Billboard 200. The album also had two other minor hit singles, "Somebody to Love Me" & "Under Any Moon"

"The Same Love", written by Diane Warren, would later be covered by Exposé in 1992 for their album Exposé.
