Navos's debut for Island: a UK top 40 single, certified Platinum, with hundreds of millions of streams across the original and its mixes.
Navos's Believe Me came out on Island Records on 22 January 2021 and went on to chart on the UK singles chart and the UK dance chart. I mastered the Extended Mix and Radio Edit on 18 January 2021, four days before the release, and the Instrumental and Radio 1 mixes two days later. The VIP Mix followed in March 2021 and the JayKae remix in June.
