At first, Seling confirmed a music video for the song, but it wasn't even shot. The single was physically released on March 16, 2009, being broadcast just by Magic FM.

Release and promotion

The album was confirmed in September, 2008, after the releasing of the compilation album "1998 - 2008". The album's syles were posted on Paula Seling's official website in early 2009. On February 12, 2009 the album was released both as a CD[3] and as a cassette. Digitally it was released in March, 2009. It didn't gain the success of Seling's last albums. Paula's new English album "Believe" was conceived as an introduction to Paula on the world stage. Hidden on the album are some real jewels, the tracks "Autumn in Bucharest", "Just You" and "Time to Go" are reflections of feelings everyone has experienced at some point in their life and even though the songs seem pop rock, they also feel subtly soulful with a pinch of blues. The title track "Believe" is a tune about a night on the beach that leaves you reflecting back to your own memories while it also makes you think about making new ones."Believe" the album is not all fun and frolic though. Paula also has a serious side. Her song "Hey You" is a song about over coming emotional abuse and its message is directed at anyone suffering under the weight of personal oppression."Can't You See" was written as a message of frustration with the forces of prejudice, racism and sexism and it points out quite eloquently that everyone's life has equal value and that no one person or company should degrade this equality without facing the fact that next, it could be them.[4] Even though mainstream press tries to pretend Romania doesn't exist, there is no denying Paula Seling and "Believe" has been in the Top 100 albums at CDBaby as well as being in the top 10 in Pop Rock, Pop Piano and Solo Female artist, Believe is quite a display of musical perfection, 17 tracks, covering a wide path through the musical landscape.[5]
