"Dreamer" is a song by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix.[1] Released as a single on 1 November 2018 alongside its music video, it features American soul singer Mike Yung.[2][3][4]

Background

Garrix announced in August 2018, a potential collaboration with Yung. In an interview, he spoke about working with Yung, who is also a street artist, and how he was impressed by his voice. Garrix said "He's an amazing singer. I've seen him on video, singing in the subway New York. His story ... he has been singing in the subway for 38 years. I invited him to Amsterdam, we had an amazing week, wrote music on a boat with a guitar."[5][2]

Yung also discussed how he was astonished by Garrix's interest to work with "a 60 year old man" like him. He said "This guy could work with anyone. Why he chose to work with a 60 year old like me was always confusing. Martin thank you for the opportunity and I love you man."[6] Unimpressed by promotional YouTube channels publishing false songs titled "Dreamer" as if it was by him, Garrix said "There's apparently some idiots posting fake 'Dreamer official audio' on fake youtube channels just to generate clicks -> money. Don't fall for it, the real version will be released thursday!".[7]

Composition

The song is described as embodying "the uplifting feel that characterises his return to the spotlight, filled with hope and empowerment and positivity, with his soulful delivery searing over a euphoric Garrix pop production." The song concludes with "gospel style choir harmonies."[8] Noted as being "stylistically new for Garrix," it consists of "melding pop sounds with R&B vocals and an almost blues-like attitude." The song features a crescendo with backing vocalists.[9][10]

Consisting of "Yung’s uplifting singing and Garrix's commanding retro electronic notes that build into the chorus with gospel-style choir harmonies",[11] the meaning of the song is stated as being "a motivational song about chasing your dreams".[12]

Music video

The music video, published to YouTube on the same day as the single, featured Yung performing the song in a New York subway where he had started his career as a street artist.[13] The scene progresses Yung to his later projects in Brooklyn and his eventual meeting with Garrix in his studio in Amsterdam, where they recorded the song.[8]
