"I Believe" is a song sung by Canadian jazz-pop singer Nikki Yanofsky. Written by Stephan Moccio and Alan Frew for Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium, it was used as the official promotional song for both the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Themes from this song appeared in the main title sequence music, and were used to create cues for use during actual Olympic coverage broadcasts.

Both the English and French versions were recorded in Montreal, Quebec, along with the help of The Montreal Symphony Orchestra and children from the area, who supplied the backing vocals in both languages.

It was noted in the media that the lyric "I believe in the power of you and I" is grammatically incorrect.

This song is also available on Nikki's new album, Nikki, which recently received a gold certification from the Canadian Recording Industry Association.

It reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100 issue dated February 27, 2010. "I Believe" was the first song by a Canadian singer to top the Canadian Hot 100.

A Spanish version of the song, "Me Creer" was recorded and sung by Serena Ryder.

A French version of the song, "J'imagine" was recorded and sung by Annie Villeneuve.
