Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Dreams" is a song by British singer and songwriter Gabrielle. It was written by Gabrielle and Tim Laws and produced by Richie Fermie for her debut studio album, Find Your Way (1993). Originally, the song included a sample of the song "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman, but because of copyright reasons the sample had to be removed. Released as Gabrielle's debut single, "Dreams" entered the UK Singles Chart at number two, which was the highest chart entry a debut act had scored in the United Kingdom at that time, before reaching number one for three weeks in June 1993. In the United States, the song peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming Gabrielle's highest-charting song there, and at number-one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song's music video was directed by Kate Garner.
"Dreams" is widely seen as Gabrielle's signature song, and its lyrics inspired the title of her greatest hits compilation Dreams Can Come True, Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (2001). The song is featured heavily in the 1999 Paul Thomas Anderson film Magnolia, where William H. Macy's downtrodden character Donnie Smith plays the song repeatedly as a motivational aid. In 2013, Gabrielle re-recorded the track with producer Naughty Boy for her compilation album Now and Always: 20 Years of Dreaming.
The accompanying music video for "Dreams" was directed by British photographer, artist and singer Kate Garner. It received heavy rotation on MTV Europe and was later published by Vevo on YouTube in 2013. As of December 2022, the video had generated more than 16 million views
