A 1977 Fleetwood Mac single written by Stevie Nicks, drawn from her perspective on the relationship breakdown that shaped the "Rumours" album.
Composition
Dreams was written by Stevie Nicks during the sessions for “Rumours” in 1976. Nicks composed the song quickly on a small electric piano in a studio side room while other members were on break, drawing on her recent breakup with Lindsey Buckingham.
Reception
Released in early 1977, Dreams became Fleetwood Mac’s only number-one single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The “Rumours” album spent decades in the catalog charts and has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide.
Revival
In late 2020 a viral TikTok video of skateboarder Nathan Apodaca lip-syncing to the song while drinking cranberry juice triggered a streaming-era resurgence. Dreams reentered the Billboard Hot 100 more than 43 years after its first release.
