Prospects for The Jets, a formerly hot Minneapolis family group, still seemed good when this late '80s session was released. They had had two R&B smashes the year before and were being compared in some places to New Edition in its formative stages. But urban contemporary and New Jack Swing R&B was getting much harder, and the group's light, coy sound would soon be hard pressed to keep pace. That's what ultimately halted their chart run, even though they continued to make alternately charming and formulaic music. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
Believe is the fourth album (including Christmas with The Jets) recorded with MCA records by the family group The Jets, at this point composed of siblings Eddie, Elizabeth, Haini, Kathi, Leroy, Moana and Rudy Wolfgramm (eighth member, Gene had left the band by this time). It featured all new material, including the singles "You Better Dance" and "The Same Love". The album had very little promotion and only peaked at #107 on the Billboard 200. The album should be certified Gold because sales are at around 277,000 copies. The album also had another minor hit single, "Somebody To Love Me".
"The Same Love", written by Diane Warren, would later be covered by Exposé in 1992 for their album Exposé.
