When You Believe

"When You Believe" was a duet by singers Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey that was recorded for the 1998 Dreamworks film The Prince of Egypt (see 1998 in music). It was also the first single from Houston's My Love Is Your Love and the second from Carey's #1's. It was written by Stephen Schwartz, with additional contributions from Babyface, who also produced. The song won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1999. In this ballad, Carey and Houston reassure each other that, although times may be tough, "there can be miracles, when you believe" in God.
