"Can't Wait Another Minute" is a 1986 hit single by British pop group Five Star, peaking at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart and giving them their highest ever peak of 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States where it also reached number 7 on the Hot R&B chart. The song was written by Paul Chiten (who also did the music track) and Sue Sheridan. It was the lead single from their million-plus selling second album Silk & Steel (which would also include B-side "Don't You Know I Love It"). The song was originally recorded by the female vocal trio Lewis (featuring Dee, Shirley and Linda Lewis, later known as Lewis Sisters), released a month before the Five Star version as the B-side to their single "If the Love Fits". and it was also featured in the 1986 film Gung Ho.

Promotional video

The video features the band making a human clock, with all five members becoming the "hands" of the clock. The band's car also supposedly breaks down, and are late for a concert. The traffic lights change from "Wait" to "Can't Wait" to reflect the song's title.
