7 Wishes is the third studio album by the American hard rock band Night Ranger, released in 1985 and produced by Pat Glasser. The album features three Billboard Hot 100 chart hits: "Sentimental Street" reached No. 8, "Four in the Morning" No. 19 and "Goodbye" No. 17.
The title of "Four in the Morning (I Can't Take Any More)" describes the time of day Jack Blades wrote the song. In an interview with the Songfacts website, he explained, "Literally, I wrote that song at 4 in the morning. I mean, I woke up, and I had an idea, (singing) 'I can't take anymore, I can't fake anymore, it's such a hard time loving you.'"
"Interstate Love Affair" appeared on the soundtrack to the motion picture Teachers (1984), and "This Boy Needs to Rock" appeared on the soundtrack for Explorers (1985).
