"If You Really Cared" is the third single from Gabrielle's second album Gabrielle. It was written by Gabrielle, Ben Barson of the Boilerhouse Boys, Ben Wolff and Andrew Dean. "If You Really Cared" returned Gabrielle to the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 15.
A reviewer from Music Week rated the song three out of five, adding, "Gabrielle shows her class with this timeless ballad which captures a vintage soulful sound, but remains distinctly modern."[1]
