"Sweet Dreams" is a song by American singer Koe Wetzel, released on May 17, 2024 as the second single from his sixth studio album 9 Lives . Written by Wetzel himself, Amy Allen, Josh Serrato, Gabe Simon of Kopecky (who also produced the song) and Sam Harris, it is Wetzel's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 47 [1] and peaking at number 35.
In regard to his inspiration behind the song, Koe Wetzel stated:
I had an R&B type song in mind, like something off Usher's Confessions album, with a badass drumbeat and a really cool melody. I had written in my notes a few weeks earlier: "Sweet Dreams". When we got to the Sonic Ranch in El Paso, we tried it. We stepped back to look at the song and got really excited about the way it came out. [2]
The production is characterized by an R&B-leaning style, [3] while the lyrics follow a man who is struggling with guilt over breaking a woman's heart and causing the end of their relationship. The narrator sings about having developed insomnia and being unable to have sweet dreams as a consequence of his pain and memory of his former lover. [2] [3]
