WHEN YOU BELIEVE ~ BY MARIAH CAREY AND WHITNEY HOUSTON

"When You Believe" is an Academy Award-winning song composed by Stephen Schwartz for the 1998 DreamWorks animated feature The Prince of Egypt. A pop version of "When You Believe" was produced as a single with additional music by writer-producer Babyface for the film's soundtrack album. It was the main theme of the film and was released as a single by American singers Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey as the soundtrack's first single in 1998; it was also the first single from Houston's album My Love Is Your Love and the second from Carey's compilation album #1's. Years of media speculation of a feud between Carey and Houston led to expectations that a duet would be a great hit and break many chart records, especially as Carey and Houston were successive record-holders for a single with the most weeks at number one. "When You Believe" was a hit, although it didn't make the top ten; rising as high as number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It fitted a trend of Carey singles at the time, peaking at 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay, but at 7 on the Hot 100 Single Sales.

Carey usually prefers to transpose the key to B♭ major when performing live. arey's vocal range spans more than four octaves on the track, from C₃ to E₇. The song tested and challenged Carey's vocal range which in critics doubted about her voice. This is the first song on which Carey has encountered many high notes to execute and it starts on a falsetto note followed by a belted note. This is one of the reasons why many singers who try to emulate her vocal technique may use an incorrect vocal techinque. The sheet music of the song has a 8va marking on the last part of the song.
