Beginnings: Greatest Hits & New Songs is the fifteenth solo studio album by Cilla Black. The project features eleven all-new studio recordings produced by Ted Carfrae alongside nine of Black's own hit singles produced by George Martin. Also included as a hidden track is a club remix of a re-recording of "Step Inside Love", produced by DJ Tommy Sandhu (which had been a No. 3 UK Club Hit).[2]

The album was a minor hit in the UK charts, peaking at No. 68, and staying in the top 75 for one week.
