"Dreaming of You" is a song recorded by American Tejano singer Selena as the title track and third single for the 1995 album Dreaming of You, her fifth and final studio album. The song was recorded several weeks before Selena's death, and both the single and album were released posthumously. The single was released by EMI Latin on August 14, 1995, with "Techno Cumbia" as its B-side track. The lyrics explore feelings of longing and hope that the singer's love interest is thinking about her while she is dreaming of him at night. Composed by Franne Golde and Tom Snow, "Dreaming of You" is a pop ballad. It was originally written in 1989 for American R&B group The Jets, who turned down the recording. Golde believed that the track had potential, and brought it to Selena, who recorded it for Dreaming of You.
"Dreaming of You" begins with a moderately slow beat.[25] Selena sings that she is up at night thinking of her lover, "wish[ing] on a star" that he is thinking of her too. The song then plays at a moderate tempo, when Selena sings the chorus that she is dreaming of her lover and telling him that she plans on holding him the next day. She then asks her love interest "if you looked in my eyes, would you see what's inside, would you even care?".[25] She then sings of wanting to wait until he can reciprocate her feelings for him, before having "the courage to say how much I love you".[25] Selena switches to Spanish and sings of how much she is dreaming of her lover.[25] Deborah Walker of the Sun Sentinel called the Spanish-language verse "gentle nothings over her own vocals", saying that "such musings appear to have come from the heart."[26] Selena sings the chorus once more before saying that she will endlessly dream of her lover in her room, citing that "there's nowhere in the world where I'd rather be, than here in my room dreaming with you, endlessly" and the song concludes.[25] J. D. Considine of The Baltimore Sun called the lyrics "a delightfully literal approach to the phrase 'sleeping together' as Selena's protagonist visits her love only in her dreams", which is an "endearingly innocent expression of love and longing."[27] Flick said of the ending that it "blissfully fades" and that "all one can do is wonder what the future might have held if things were different."[20]
The music video for "Dreaming of You" was filmed posthumously and released in 1995 to music channels. The video is "about a young woman who sneaks away from her home to run off with the man she loves", according to CBS News.[71] The video opens up to a girl who overhears the radio announcer of Selena's new single. She then kisses her sleeping father on the head before packing; her mother is seen in the kitchen cleaning and then leaves to the back looking up to the sky.[71] At the end of the video, the girl and her love interest are seen embracing each other before driving away. The radio announcer concludes the video with "alright, I know that special someone that is close to your heart, that you've been dreaming about all night, is right next to you right now".[71] Charlie Huero of Power 106 was asked to be the radio announcer by EMI Records producer Sean Lynch.[71] The music video reached number 49 on the Billboard Video Monitor VH1 Top Music Videos list on 18 April 1998.[72]
Selena recorded "God's Child (Baila Conmigo)", a duet with David Byrne that was included on the soundtrack of the comedy film Blue in the Face (1995).[33] Byrne said the song was the last recording Selena made before she was shot and killed by Yolanda SaldÃvar, her friend and former manager of her Selena Etc. boutiques, on March 31, 1995.[34] In the aftermath, EMI Records and EMI Latin put aside US$500,000 ($784,000 2015 USD) to complete Dreaming of You.[35] Behar said promotion "will be on the superstar scale" and claimed "[we] didn't put this marketing campaign behind it because there was a tragedy. We put this marketing campaign behind it because we believed that this was going to be a huge album because of the music. This is a record that we're going to work over the next 10 months."[31] 2b1af7f3a8
