Katie Belle’s new single “Bad Dreams” takes something many of us know all too well — those nights when you just can’t switch your brain off — and transforms it into a shimmering slice of electro-pop magic. Instead of wallowing in insomnia’s gloom, Belle flips the script, crafting a track that feels like dancing your worries away at 3 a.m. under neon lights.
The song opens with pulsing synths that immediately set the mood — it’s both hypnotic and restless, echoing the feeling of tossing and turning in bed. But then comes Katie’s voice: raspy, dreamy, and full of feeling. She doesn’t just sing about sleeplessness; she makes you feel it. Her vocals glide over the beat like a whispered secret, intimate but powerful enough to pull you into her late-night world. What makes “Bad Dreams” special is its balance between melancholy and movement. The lyrics speak to the frustration of insomnia — the endless turning, the racing thoughts — yet the production urges you to get up and move. It’s as if Belle is saying, “Yes, the night might be restless, but we can still dance through it.” That bittersweet blend gives the track its charm: part confessional diary entry, part glittering escape.
Produced in LA by Fabio Campedelli, the sound is slick but never soulless. The synth layers shimmer like city lights, while the beat keeps everything tight and infectious. By the chorus, it’s impossible not to sway along, even as the words remind you of the shadows lurking behind closed eyes. Katie Belle has always had a knack for weaving her personal stories into pop that feels universal. “Bad Dreams” continues that tradition — a song born from sleepless nights, yet crafted to keep listeners wide awake, captivated, and ready to hit repeat.
