"You Have to Believe" is a 2015 electronic dance song produced by American DJ/remixer/producer Dave Audé, featuring vocals from Australian singer/songwriter/actress Olivia Newton-John and her daughter, singer/actress Chloe Lattanzi, who co-wrote the single with another Australian singer/songwriter, Vassy.
Background
The single is a reworking of Newton-John's 1980 single "Magic" from the soundtrack to the film Xanadu. The track made history for the three artists involved. For Audé, it became his 12th number one on Billboard's Dance Club Songs, the most ever by a producer, while Newton-John and Lattanzi became the first mother-daughter duo to reach number one together on the aforementioned chart, although in the case of Newton-John, she had charted four previous times, beginning with "Physical" in 1982, where it peaked at 22, while "The Rumour" was her highest charted single, peaking at 17 in 1988. "Magic" however, never charted Dance Club Songs or its predecessors.
In an interview with Billboard, Newton-John noted "It was actually Chloe's idea to rework 'Magic' and I was thrilled, as she is not only a great singer but a talented writer. It was a great collaboration across the board! And, a fun fact is that I met Chloe's dad on the set of Xanadu, so, without that film, Chloe wouldn't be here. She was the real 'magic' that came out of that film!" Lattanzi added that since "Magic" was her favorite song and well as her mother's, she thought that this would be a natural fit to do a new take on the song.[1]
