The self-assured opening track of Charli’s second mixtape, Number 1 Angel, “Dreamer” is a big, door-smashing opener that says “I’m here, all eyes on me!”
The track features guest appearances from Starrah & Raye, each of whom lend a verse.
[Intro]
Eh-XCX
[Chorus: Charli XCX & Starrah]
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
'Bout to do it big, stretch, stretch limousine-uh
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
Angel in the clouds rain down, best believe it
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
'Bout to do it big, stretch, stretch limousine-uh
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
Angel in the clouds rain down (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 1: Starrah]
Beemer on Monday (Flex)
Benz on a Tuesday (Benz, Benz, Benz)
Lambo' on Wednesday (Lambo' on, Lambo' on)
'Rari on Thursday (Flex with my friends)
Thank God it's Friday (Thank God)
Thank God it's flex on my haters, and ride day (Skrrt, skrrt)
Purple and yellow, I'm mixy (Mix it up)
I need my exes to miss me (Need you to miss me up)
'Member the days they would diss me (Diss me)
I know they out tryna get me (Now they wanna hit me up)
'Member they said I wouldn't get it, I got it
I went to go get it, I get it, I got it
I went to go get it, I get it, I got it
I went to go get it, I get it, I got it
[Verse 2: RAYE & Charli XCX]
Went to go get it, I get it, I got it
Went to go sleep while I dream 'bout this money
These boys tryna hit me up
But I'm on my job, so no, I'm not on it
Bake, bake, bake, bake
I'm not a chef, but I'm gettin' caked
When I was ten, I was on my way
I told my daddy that I was gon' make it
Independent in my whip, like, rrr
In my baggy jeans, I'm pullin' up, like, skrrt
Diamonds, diamonds on my wrist
Charli, Charli, where you been?
Yeah, this party's kinda shit
Should we dip in your whip? (Ah)
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
'Bout to do it big, stretch, stretch limousine-uh
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
Angel in the clouds rain down, best believe it
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
'Bout to do it big, stretch, stretch limousine-uh
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
Angel in the clouds rain down (Yeah)
[Bridge: Charli XCX]
Yeah, I'm an angel in the atmosphere
Up in the penthouse, come and say my name
But sometimes I just wanna disappear
So then I spread my wings and fly away
Yeah, I'm an angel in the atmosphere
Up in the penthouse, come and say my name
But sometimes I just wanna disappear
So then I spread my wings and fly (Fly, fl-fl-fly, fly)
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
'Bout to do it big, stretch, stretch limousine-uh
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
Angel in the clouds rain down, best believe it
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
'Bout to do it big, stretch, stretch limousine-uh
I'm a dreamer, step, step out the Beemer (Beemer)
Angel in the clouds rain down (Yeah)
[Outro: Charli XCX]
Dreamer, dreamer
Beemer, Beemer
Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer
Beemer, Beemer, yeah
Dreamer, dreamer
Beemer, Beemer
Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer
Beemer, Beemer

In A. G. Cook’s liner notes for the mixtape, he said:
This wasn’t the first track that Charli & I worked on for Number 1 Angel, but it was the first one that got us excited enough to really consider doing an entire mixtape. The instrumental was an old one that I’d made sometime in 2016, and it...
