“Dreaming” was written in February 2020, about 18 months before its debut. It was inspired by real-life events: seemingly falling in love again after heartbreak. The song itself is about love and excitement for someone one could only ever dream of.

The song radiates joy, but it’s also sad in a sense; it is also a wish for this person to reciprocate the previously stated love.

“… and I wish our circumstance was different so we’d have the chance to be together…”

Directly from the artist: I hold this song close to my heart, as it holds great significance to me. The memories that come from this piece are cherished by me, even though they’re not 100% happy ones. I hope you enjoy it.

Where to listen: “Dreaming” can be heard on all major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more.

In a nutshell, I liked the simplicity of the production that suited very well with her soft vocals. Therefore, I would rate the track around 8.5/10
