The release marks another exciting chapter in Swims’ already extraordinary career, which, despite the track’s title, has been nothing short of a dream come true for fans and the artist alike.

“Bad Dreams” follows closely behind the massive global success of “Lose Control”, a single that has taken over charts and airwaves worldwide. Written by an impressive roster of talents including Teddy Swims, John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, Matt Zara, Mikky Ekko, Rocky Block, and Solly, the track is a collaboration of heavyweights in the music industry. On the production side, Bunetta, Zara, and Ryan lend their masterful touch to bring Swims’ signature sound to life.

Adding to the buzz, the official music video for “Bad Dreams,” directed by renowned filmmaker Orie McGinness, is a visual masterpiece that complements the haunting themes of the song. McGinness, known for his striking and cinematic approach, creates a dreamlike atmosphere that takes viewers on a surreal journey through the darker corners of the subconscious. Swims’ emotive performance in the video captures the raw emotion of the track, making it a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike.

Swims, whose soulful voice can pivot effortlessly from heart-wrenching ballads to anthemic bangers, recently wowed audiences with a standout performance at the MTV VMA Extended Play stage. His set included a medley of “Lose Control” and his recent single “The Door”, as well as a stirring cover of Rihanna’s “Stay,” showcasing his vocal versatility and powerful stage presence. The performance further solidified Swims as a rising star in the industry.

His VMA nomination tally speaks volumes about his impact, with Swims being nominated for four major categories, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year. Competing against industry giants like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan, Swims has firmly cemented himself as one of today’s brightest talents.

2024 has been a whirlwind year for the Georgia-born artist. His breakout single “Lose Control,” from his debut album “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1)”, soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, amassing over 2.2 billion global streams and dominating five radio formats, including Top 40, R&B, and Rhythm. This massive hit also earned him a spot in Spotify’s coveted ‘Billions Club,’ a testament to his widespread appeal and undeniable talent.

With “Bad Dreams,” Swims once again proves his artistry is unmatched, and his ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners only continues to grow. Paired with McGinness’ stunning visual direction, the single serves as yet another reminder that Teddy Swims is not just a rising star—he’s a force to be reckoned with.
