"Manifest Destiny" is a Jamiroquai song from their second album The Return of the Space Cowboy. Featuring a soul-oriented acid jazz style, the song primarily includes piano, bass, percussion, drums and horns. It was performed long before the release of The Return of the Space Cowboy, during the Emergency on Planet Earth tour. Then titled "Let Me Believe", the song had different lyrics and arrangements, however it's still recognizable as the basslines and chord progressions were the same. There's only one known recording of this version, and it's on an early silver bootleg called "Songs for Manitu".

Theme

The song refers to the consequences that the expansion of United States across North America (Manifest Destiny) had on Native American tribes in the 19th century.
