"If Wishes Came True" is a song recorded by American freestyle/dance trio Sweet Sensation on their 1990 album Love Child. The song was a different musical direction for the girl group, known primarily for their freestyle hits. It was the biggest hit of their career, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 on September 1, 1990. The song also became Sweet Sensation's only entry on the BillboardAdult Contemporary chart, where it reached number eight, and it peaked within the top 30 in Canada and New Zealand.
According to The Billboard Book of Number One Hits, the members of the group "cried for days" after learning that their song had hit number one. Billboard named the song number 87 on their list of "100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time".
The album version of the song begins with strings and a flamencoguitar, then quickly picks up into a synthesizer line, an electric guitar solo, and the vocal begins soon afterward. The edited version omits the strings-and-guitar intro.
Music video
The video was filmed in New York City, and alternates studio shots of the trio singing with outdoor shots of lead singer Betty LeBron walking in the rain and reminiscing, with flashbacks to sunny scenes of better days with her former boyfriend.
