Jon Secada | Do You Believe In Us

Cuban-born, Florida-raised recording artist Jon Secada (born Juan Francisco Secada Ramírez) recorded “Do You Believe in Us” for his debut eponymous English language album and for his debut Spanish-language album Otro Día Más Sin Verte (1992). The English version peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart; the Spanish version reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart. In 1993, the tune won a BMI Award fr Most Performed Latin Song worldwide. The tune was composed by Secada, Miguel Morejon, and Joseph Stefano; Emilio Estefan Jr. was the producer.

Secada has both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in music, strongly attributing “my career, the things that have happened have happened, (to) my music education background. I always wanted to be educated and be prepared.”

After a start in Eb major, 2:34 shifts us into E major during the instrumental bridge.
