"Dream" is the fifth single from British rapper Dizzee Rascal and the second from his second album Showtime. The single became his fifth top forty hit and second consecutive top twenty hit in the UK Singles Chart peaking at number fourteen, his second highest charting single at the time. "Dream" became his longest running single to chart in the UK singles chart, spending eight weeks inside the top seventy-five.
"Dream" is built around a prominent sample of Captain Sensible's "Happy Talk" from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific.. The album version and first single version feature simply the sample hook and a bassline and are without drum beats or percussion, but the "single mix" and the video version of the song feature a drum beat, produced by Dizzee Rascal, as well.
