Wish is the second solo album of former Undertones singer Feargal Sharkey. Released in 1988, three years after his successful self-titled solo debut, the album was found to be somewhat disappointing and therefore became not as successful as its predecessor.

Trivia

'More Love' features the core of the X-Pensive Winos, consisting of Steve Jordan, Waddy Wachtel and Keith Richards.

Sharkey also admitted when quizzed on the album's release that he had not changed his underpants for the entire length of the record's gestation. When the album was finally finished, Sharkey said the undergarment "practically walked to the washing basket by itself".
