"This Dream of You" is a song by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix. Premiered at Tomorrowland as the introduction of Garrix's main stage DJ set on 17 July 2026, it was released as a single by Stmpd Rcrds and Darkroom Records on 2 October 2026.
The track marks the second time Garrix's own vocals are featured in his work, preceded by his vocal debut in "Catharina", both of which are expected to feature on his upcoming second studio album due for release by the end of 2026.
Background On 17 July 2026, Garrix premiered an early version of "This Dream of You" during his mainstage set on the first weekend of the Tomorrowland music festival.
On 24 September 2026, Garrix played the song in full during his last resident show of the year at Ushuaïa Ibiza.
On 29 September 2026, Garrix posted two videos teasing the track to Instagram. The first is a clip of him playing the song during his Tomorrowland set, while the second shows him singing an acoustic version of the song while playing the guitar. Garrix wrote in the caption: "Singing is very far out of my comfort zone, but I'm excited to try new things and grow/learn!! Premiered it at Tomorrowland as my intro and so happy to finally share it with you guys. Big hug." In the same post, he also revealed that the song would be released on 2 October.
In a press release, Garrix noted that the song is really special to him, adding: "Singing is very far outside of my comfort zone, but I've been wanting to push myself, try new things and keep learning. I first played the track as my intro at Tomorrowland, which made that moment even more personal. Having my own voice at the center of one of my productions is something I never thought I'd do, so this release means a lot to me."
Composition "This Dream of You" is a dance and progressive house song. It opens with "an orchestral, ethereal symphony" and "a gentle acoustic guitar progression", which is followed by "light, airy textures and euphoric melodies" that "build an expansive atmosphere", leading to "a sweeping, synth-soaked drop". Lyrically, the song focuses on finding hope in another person when everything else feels uncertain.
