Dreamer (song)

"**Dreamer**" is a song by English singer-songwriter Charli XCX from her third mixtape *Number 1 Angel*. It features guest vocals from RAYE and Starrah.

## Background

On his track-by-track notes on the mixtape, A. G. Cook said that although this wasn't the first song they did for *Number 1 Angel*, it was the first one that got him and Charli excited enough to really consider doing an entire mixtape. He also said that Raye's writing style was satisfying to put on the song.

The instrumental was done by Cook in 2016, and it was always called "Dreamer", and so Charli just rolled with the title and turned it into a whole song. "The topline that Charli came up with is a perfect example of what she's so great at - it's feels super casual & effortless, but it's filled with all these nuances and angles that actually make it catchy." - A. G. comments.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Eh-XCX

**[Chorus: Charli XCX]**

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

'Bout to do it big

Stretch, stretch limousine-uh

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

Angel in the clouds rain down, best believe it

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

'Bout to do it big

Stretch, stretch limousine-uh

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

Angel in the clouds rain down, yeah, yeah

**[Verse 1: Starrah]**

Beemer on Monday (Flex)

Benz on a Tuesday (Benz, Benz, Benz)

Lambo' on Wednesday (Lambo' on, Lambo' on)

'Rari on Thursday (Flex with my friends)

Thank God it's Friday (Thank God)

Thank God it's flex on my haters, and ride day (Skrrt, skrrt)

Purple and yellow, I'm mixy (Mix it up)

I need my exes to miss me (Need you to miss me up)

'Member the days they would diss me (Diss me)

I know they out tryna get me (Now they wanna hit me up)

'Member they said I wouldn't get it, I got it

I went to go get it, I get it, I got it

I went to go get it, I get it, I got it

I went to go get it, I get it, I got it

**[Verse 2: RAYE]**

Went to go get it, I get it, I got it

Went to go sleep while I dream 'bout this money

These boys tryna hit me up

But I'm on my job, so no, I'm not on it

Bake, bake, bake, bake

I'm not a chef, but I'm gettin' caked

When I was ten, I was on my way

I told my daddy that I was gon' make it

Independent in my whip like rrr

In my baggy jeans, I'm pullin' up like skrrt

Diamonds, diamonds on my wrist

Charli, Charli, where you been?

Yeah, this party's kinda shit

Should we dip in your whip?

Ahh

**[Chorus: Charli XCX]**

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

'Bout to do it big

Stretch, stretch limousine-uh

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

Angel in the clouds rain down, best believe it

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

'Bout to do it big

Stretch, stretch limousine-uh

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

Angel in the clouds rain down, yeah

**[Bridge: Charli XCX]**

Yeah, I'm an angel in the atmosphere

Up in the penthouse, come and say my name

But sometimes I just wanna disappear

So then I spread my wings and fly away

Yeah, I'm an angel in the atmosphere

Up in the penthouse, come and say my name

But sometimes I just wanna disappear

So then I spread my wings and fly

(Fly, fl-fl-fly, fly)

**[Chorus: Charli XCX]**

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

'Bout to do it big

Stretch, stretch limousine-uh

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

Angel in the clouds rain down, best believe it

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

'Bout to do it big

Stretch, stretch limousine-uh

I'm a dreamer

Step, step out the Beemer

Angel in the clouds rain down, yeah

**[Outro: Charli XCX]**

Dreamer, dreamer

Beemer, Beemer

Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer

Beemer, Beemer, yeah

Dreamer, dreamer

Beemer, Beemer

Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer

Beemer, Beemer
