I'm Only Dreaming is the fifth full-length album by the band Eisley. It was released on February 17, 2017, on Equal Vision Records.[5] The album was produced by notable producer Will Yip, and marked the band's first release following the departure of several original members, leaving cousins Sherri DuPree-Bemis, and Garron DuPree as the core members of the group for the first time. In September 2016, the band released their first song in over three years, "Defeatist", which marked the first song to be heard from the album. Dupree-Bemis mentioned via an interview that "Defeatist", along with several others from the album, were written predominately by Garron.

The album charted at number 69 on the Billboard 200, number 8 on the US Indie, number 15 on US Rock, and number 20 on Top Vinyl records – making it the group's highest-charting album to date in several categories.
