Elton John & Pet Shop Boys
The Story Behind “Believe/Song for Guy”
Elton John and Pet Shop Boys joined forces to create “Believe/Song for Guy,” a mashup combining two compositions by Elton John and Bernie Taupin:
- “Song for Guy” — originally released in October 1978.
- “Believe” — released as a single on February 20, 1995, from the album Made in England. [1][2]
The arrangement was developed by Pet Shop Boys, who merged the two tracks into a single performance.

This release finally made the studio recording of the unique Elton John–Pet Shop Boys collaboration officially available to listeners.
