"Can U Believe" is the third single from Robin Thicke's second studio album The Evolution of Robin Thicke. It was released to Urban AC radio on April 12, 2007.[1] Originally "Got 2 Be Down" was expected to be the 3rd single but due to Faith Evans' pregnancy the plans for the release of the single were scrapped even though the song had already begun receiving airplay. "Got 2 Be Down" was later released as the album's fourth single.[citation needed]
