Dreams Never Die is the fourth studio album by Tiffany, released in November 1993. The album represented an attempt to return to pop success three years after the release of New Inside, and five years after Tiffany’s last commercially successful album Hold an Old Friend's Hand (1988). As Tiffany had retained a greater degree of popularity in Asia than in the United States, the album was only released in various Asian countries. An American release was planned but never released; it was expected to have some changes from the Asian version, because, as Tiffany said at the time, "A lot of the stuff in the Asia market is a little more pop than what I want to do here. I want to break away from the bubble gum thing... My goal is to do not hard rock, but a semi-rock sound."[2] Earlier in 1993, Tiffany (who was by then married to makeup artist Bulmaro "Junior" Garcia and had given birth to her son Elijah) gave a series of performances at the Las Vegas Hilton's casino lounge, which included songs from this album.
This album was produced by Tiffany's former manager, George Tobin, with whom she had earlier split, and who had been widely criticized for his exploitative management style, but also widely credited for achieving Tiffany's pop success. However, this business relationship soon soured; according to Tiffany, this happened when she discovered that the songs Tobin had given her to sing on this album were previously used by another Tobin act, PC Quest.[3] Tiffany and Tobin went their separate ways, with Tiffany moving to Nashville and attempting a career as a country singer; this, however, never led to any record releases, and by 2000 she was back to pop music. Tiffany eventually recorded her first country album, Rose Tattoo, released eleven years later.
In 2005, George Tobin rereleased the album himself, adding several bonus tracks that were originally recorded during the sessions for Tiffany's first two albums: her eponymous 1987 debut album and Hold an Old Friend's Hand.
