"Wishing on the Same Star" is a song originally recorded by American singer Keedy in 1991. It was written by Diane Warren and appears on the album Chase the Clouds. It was released as the second single off the album, following her top 20 hit "Save Some Love". It became her second and last Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at #86.

The song has been covered by several other artists, most notably by Puerto Rican singer Chayanne as "Mi Primer Amor" (1992), Australian girl group Girlfriend (1993), American dance singer Judy Cheeks (1995), German Eurodance group DJ Company (1997) and by American singer Myra (2001). In 1997, Diane Warren released a promotional compilation of songs written by her titled A Passion For Music. Included on the track list is the original demo of the song, sung by Susie Benson.

"Wishing on the Same Star" was covered by Japanese singer Namie Amuro in 2002. It is her 21st solo single under the Avex Trax label. Released on September 11, 2002, the song was meant to be her last before a hiatus that would have seen her transplanting herself from Tokyo, Japan to New York City for the purposes of artist development. As the last of her singles as a pop artist, it is the most commercially successful from the album, Style (2003).
