"Dreams" (not to be confused with "Dreams") is an unreleased song by Dua Lipa, intended for her second studio album "Future Nostalgia".
Background[]
The track features Calvin Harris, who Dua Lipa previously collaborated with on One Kiss. The song was intended for Dua's sophomore album "Future Nostalgia", but was left off due to Dua wanting the album to be all solo. Parts of this song were reused for "Lovers In The Past" which is a collaboration between Calvin Harris and Rag'n'bone Man. A remix of the song (Likely intended for Club Future Nostalgia) was also created.
A snippet of the Remix was leaked on June 11, 2022 by a fan with the caption "I present you an unreleased by Dua Lipa that you will not get anywhere". The Remix version is a lot more longer and has more instrumental parts that vocals. The full song leaked on the 13th November, 2024. On March 9th, 2025, the length of the Remix was revealed. On June 17th, 2025, a 1 minute recording of the remix of the track leaked online. The Remix has not yet leaked in full online.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
the days are the darkest
longing for the night to feel that moment the spark hits
pullin' me to places I don't know
I know you're here, but not for long, oh, no
and it's the same as it all was
middle of the street while all the cars drive around us
takin' me to places I don't know
I know you're here, but not for long, oh, no
[Chorus]
my dreams keep repeatin'
they keep you from leavin'
they don't let me wake up alone
(my dreams)
(my dreams)
[Verse 2]
it's a tainted reflection, punchin' in the sheets
you know I crave the attention
all that I can have, I want the most
I know you're here, but not for long, oh, no, love
[Chorus]
my dreams keep repeatin'
they keep you from leavin'
they don't let me wake up alone
(my dreams)
(my dreams)
[Bridge]
my dreams, alone
my dreams, awake
my dreams, alone
my dreams, awake
[Chorus]
my dreams keep repeatin'
they keep you from leavin'
they don't let me wake up alone
(my dreams)
(my dreams)
