Dreams Never Die is the fourth studio album by American singer and former teen idol Tiffany. It was released officially on November 1993[citation needed] via MCA Records and was her final release with the label. The album was exclusively released in Asian markets as a US release was shelved.[1] The American release was expected to have had more of a "soft rock" in comparison to the pop of the original version.[2] Tiffany reunited with George Tobin for production of the album despite worries from friends and family. Their relationship would once again end when Tiffany found out the "new" songs that Tobin had been giving her had already been recorded by another one of his acts, PC Quest.[3]

To promote the album, Tiffany announced a series of shows at the Westgate Las Vegas lounge, of which its setlist included some songs from the album.[4] She followed it up with a six-week tour throughout East and Southeast Asia.[5][6][7] "If Love Is Blind" was released in January 1994 in Asia.[8] It was commercially released in Japan and Australia.[9][10] It peaked at number-one on a Hong Kong radio station.[citation needed]

In September 2005, the album was re-released by Tobin through CD Baby.[citation needed] The edition included unreleased songs by Tiffany that were recorded during the productions of Tiffany and Hold an Old Friend's Hand.[citation needed]

Dreams Never Die sold 100,000 units in Asia, including 20,000 in Taiwan and 30,000 in Indonesia.[11]
