"Hide and Seek" is the name of a 1984 single by British pop group Five Star. It was the group's second release, and would be later included on their 1985 debut album Luxury of Life. The single was written by Gary Bell (who co-wrote their later hit "System Addict"), and Anne Dudley, one of the UK's top female songwriters and composers. The single wasn't a hit, only charting at #113.
The song was later covered by New Edition in 1984 as part of their self-titled album.
The video to the single featured a colourful setting with an early Five Star logo as a backdrop, with the floor resembling the American stars and stripes flag, and a very simple (yet impressive) dance routine.
