Love Child is the second album released by the New York-based Latin freestyle trio Sweet Sensation. The album was released on April 15, 1990 by Atco Records and Atlantic Records. It is the follow-up to the group's platinum-selling 1988 debut album, Take It While It's Hot . Like its predecessor, Love Child had an up-tempo feel, but also included lavish R&B-styled ballads.
The album's title track is a cover version of the hit song by the Supremes. Sweet Sensation's version went to No. 15 on the Billboard dance chart and No. 13 on the Billboard pop chart. However, it was the album's second single that gave the group its biggest hit, "If Wishes Came True", a power ballad featuring vocals by Betty Lebron. The song spent one week at number one on Billboard's pop chart in September 1990, while reaching the top ten on Billboard's adult contemporary chart. The album spawned two more hit singles: "Each and Every Time" (No. 59) and "One Good Man". The album peaked at No. 78 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and was certified platinum in 1991 by the RIAA.
