"Dreams" is a song by the American alternative rock musician Beck, released on June 15, 2015. The song is the lead single and first release from his thirteenth album, Colors (2017). The song's music is upbeat and funky, in contrast to the more muted sound of his previous album, Morning Phase (2014), with Beck stating that he "was really trying to make something that would be good to play live."[3]

"Dreams" was featured in the soundtrack of the EA Sports game FIFA 16 (2015).[3] The song was heavily featured on Beats 1, Apple Music's flagship radio station, with 65 plays in July 2015.[4]
