"I Can Dream" was Skunk Anansie's second single, coming after "Selling Jesus" in 1995, and it sits on their debut album Paranoid & Sunburnt. Skin wrote it with Len Arran and sings it, Ace plays guitar, Cass Lewis bass and Robbie France drums, and Sylvia Massy produced and recorded it with the band before David Bascombe and Andy Wallace mixed.
Smash Hits' Mark Sutherland gave it four out of five, billed the band as the scariest on the planet and filed the music under blood-and-guts indie-metal. The black-and-white video came from Gob TV, the team behind the "Selling Jesus" clip, and the single got to number 41 in the UK, with two B-sides and a live "Little Baby Swastikkka" on the CD.
