If I Say Yes

"If I Say Yes" is a 1986 single by British pop group Five Star, and was the follow-up to their biggest-ever UK single, the #2 ranked "Rain or Shine". It was the fourth release from the group's Silk & Steel album. A 3:43 remixed version of the song (an edit of the cassette-only "Lew Hahn New York Remix"), which was the version released in the U.S., appeared on the group's 1989 Greatest Hits album.

Critical reception
Jim Reid of Record Mirror considered "If I Say Yes" a "typically bubbling disco-pop" song very similar to Five Star's previous singles, "with a sax solo, silly clothes and plenty of big grins". In another issue of the same magazine, James Hamilton described the song as a "speedily wrigging and tinkling Jackson 5-ish 120 bpm galloper".
