Armin van Buuren Finally Delivers the Long-Awaited ‘Dream A Little Dream’

After more than two years of building anticipation, Armin van Buuren has finally answered the call of fans across the globe with the release of ‘Dream A Little Dream’, a soaring collaboration with multi-platinum singer-songwriter Sam Gray. First premiered during his Ultra Music Festival 2023 set, the track quickly became one of Armin’s most-requested IDs, flooding comment sections and fan pages with pleas for an official release.

Now, that dream has come true—and it’s as powerful as expected.

Blending Armin’s signature euphoric trance production with Gray’s emotive vocal performance, ‘Dream A Little Dream‘ is a heartfelt anthem that walks the line between festival-ready energy and late-night introspection. Lush synths, rolling drums, and a hopeful chord progression carry the track into a celestial drop, making it a perfect crossover for both mainstage moments and personal listening.

Lyrically, the track is steeped in nostalgia and optimism. Gray’s lines—“When the stars don’t show / Don’t go off the edge / When your heart feels broke / Forgive and forget”—invite listeners to reflect, reset, and hold on to hope. The chorus, with its gentle refrain “Dream a little dream with me”, captures the emotional vulnerability that has come to define some of Armin’s most beloved vocal anthems.

Musically, this track feels like a spiritual successor to van Buuren’s past vocal classics, yet updated with a modern pop-trance edge. It’s sentimental without being overly saccharine, cinematic without losing dancefloor drive.

With ‘Dream A Little Dream‘, Armin continues to showcase his ability to evolve while staying true to his roots. It’s a reminder that even in a constantly shifting musical landscape, dreams—and dreamers—still have a place on the dancefloor.
