Common card · No. 347070

"Dreaming of You" is a song recorded by American Tejano singer Selena and released by EMI Latin on August 14, 1995, as the title track and third single from her fifth and final studio album Dreaming of You. Recorded several weeks before Selena's death, the single was released with "Techno Cumbia" as its B-side track and was released posthumously along with the album. Composed by Franne Golde and Tom Snow, the pop ballad contains lyrics that explore feelings of longing and hope that the singer's love interest is thinking about her while she is dreaming of him at night. It was originally written in 1989 for American R&B group The Jets, who turned down the recording. Believing that the track had potential, Golde brought it to Selena, who recorded it for Dreaming of You. Critics praised the song for its ballad feel and its lyrical content, and some compared it to ballads recorded by Madonna and Paula Abdul. It received the Broadcast Music Incorporated pop award for having two million airplay...
