Careful What You Wish For is the sixth album by Scottish rock band Texas, released 20 October 2003. Released on the backdrop of their 2000 compilation album The Greatest Hits which had sold over four million copies internationally by the time Careful What You Wish For was released, it spawned two singles, the commercial successful "Carnival Girl", featuring Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, and the second single, "I'll See It Through", which failed to match the success of "Carnival Girl".

Due to the lack of commercial success of the second single "I'll See It Through", record label, Mercury Records, decided not to release a third single from the album, prompting the band to re–enter the recording studio to begin work on what would be their next album, 2005's Red Book.^[2] The album went on to achieve gold status in the UK for 100,000 copies sold,^[3] and achieved Gold certification in Switzerland for sales in excess of 20,000.^[4]
