Fearless is the debut album by English pop group Eighth Wonder, released in 1988 by CBS Records International. It is the group's only UK album release, the original version containing five UK-issued singles including their highest-selling track, the Pet Shop Boys-produced and written "I'm Not Scared", which reached No. 7 in the UK singles chart. The follow-up single, "Cross My Heart", peaked at No. 13 in the UK. The group's debut single, "Stay with Me", dating back to 1985, has been included on Fearless reissues from 1997 onwards. The album peaked at No. 47 on the UK Albums Chart.
Fearless is dedicated to James Henry Kensit, the father of band members Patsy and Jamie Kensit. Eighth Wonder split up in 1989, with lead singer Patsy going on to devote herself to her acting career.
The album was reissued in the UK by Cherry Red Records in January 2010, with the addition of five bonus tracks.
