I Believe My Heart (song)

"I Believe My Heart" is a duet between Duncan James of English boy band Blue and British soprano Keedie Babb. The song was James' first release as a solo artist, shortly before Blue went on hiatus. The song was written by David Zippel (lyrics) and Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) for use in the Lloyd Webber musical The Woman in White, which premiered the same year.[1] Upon its release in October 2004, the single debuted and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. Outside the UK, the song reached the top 20 in Italy and also charted in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, and Switzerland.
