Fearless is the 1988 debut album by British pop group Eighth Wonder. It is the group's only UK album release, and contains six UK-issued singles (the earliest, "Stay with Me", dating back to 1985) including their highest-selling track, the Pet Shop Boys-produced and written "I'm Not Scared" (a #7 hit). Other singles included "Cross My Heart" which peaked at #13 in the UK. Fearless peaked at #47 on the UK Albums Chart. The album was dedicated to James Henry Kensit, the father of Patsy and Jamie. Eighth Wonder split up in 1989, with lead singer Patsy Kensit going on to devote herself to her acting career.
