"Dream on Me" is a song by English singer and songwriter Ella Henderson and Dominican-American house music DJ, remixer and producer Roger Sanchez. The song was released as a single on 2 October 2020 through Asylum Records.[1] The song was written by Gabriella Henderson, Jordan Riley, Roger Sanchez, Uzoechi Osisioma Uzo Emenike and Wrabel.
The song samples "Another Chance" by Roger Sanchez. Henderson said she was panicking about approaching Sanchez to work with him on her new song. She said that "Another Chance" had always been one of her favourite songs and she was desperate to sample elements of the track for her own single. But working with the music of her music hero left her feeling slightly anxious that he might refuse to work with her on it and snuff out her dance track dreams. In an interview with the Daily Mirror, she said, "My favourite producer, Jordan Riley, stripped the song apart and sampled a bit of it. I wrote it and thought, 'I need to get this signed off by Roger'. He could have been so massively insulted we would even touch Another Chance! Thank God he was like, 'I love it!'. I loved that song. It was an era of them kind of records that have space for big vocalists. I remember the video of that person on the Tube with a massive heart!" She also said on her Instagram, "I wrote this song about missing people who I love and dreaming about being with them. It's been a ridiculous summer for all of us and I hope this song makes you dance and feel close to the people you love!"[2]
