# I Dream to Sleep

"I Dream to Sleep" is a song by Scottish pop band $H_2O,$ composed by all of the band members and produced by Tony Cox. Initially released in 1983, the song was later included on $H_2O's$ debut studio album, Faith (1984). The single features the non-album track, "Burn to Win" as its B-side, which was later included as a bonus track on the CD reissue of the Faith album. It was their first release on the label RCA and it peaked at No. 17 on the UK Singles Chart.

Lead singer Ian Donaldson was inspired to write the song's lyrics after seeing Yazoo perform "Only You" on Top of the Pops. It makes reference to and quotes David Bowie's song "Young Americans", of whom Donaldson was a fan.
