"If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind" is a song written by British arranger John Cameron and initially recorded by Swedish pop band Blond (Tages) under the title "(I Will Bring You) Flowers in the Morning" in 1969. Cameron initially wrote the song in 1966 after signing with KPM Music and was inspired by a female friend he was feeling unreqruited love for. After unsuccessfully trying to get the song recorded for three years, producer Anders Henriksson was introduced to him and decided to record it with Blond at Advision Studios in London. It was initially released as the B-side for their single "I Wake Up and Call" on 20 June 1969.
British producer George Martin heard the song when Henriksson played Blond's album The Lilac Years for him and decided to that Cilla Black would record it. With an arrangement written by Mike Vickers, Black's version of "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind" was released in November 1969 and reached the top-20 on the UK's Record Retailer chart and received positive reviews in the music press. In 2004, Agnetha Fältskog of Swedish pop group ABBA recorded the song as her comeback single after a 17-year old hiatus. It one of Fältskog's most commercially successful singles but received primarily lukewarm reviews.
