"Dreams" was Gabrielle's first single, the 1993 calling card for her debut album Find Your Way, and it made one heck of an entrance: it came into the UK Singles Chart at number two, the highest debut any new act there had managed up to then, and went on to spend three weeks at number one that June. Gabrielle wrote it with Tim Laws, Richie Fermie produced, and Go! Beat put it out.
It became her signature song, a smooth slice of British soul whose lyric later gave her 2001 hits collection, Dreams Can Come True, its title. America took it to 26 on the Hot 100, her best showing there, and in the 1999 film Magnolia, William H. Macy's downtrodden Donnie Smith plays it over and over to psych himself up.
