Five singles deep into her debut album, Essy drops Dream Come True, a synth-driven pop-rock ballad that packs more punch than its dreamy title suggests.
It’s a track that could easily slot into a playlist alongside The Killers, but Essy’s sweet yet unexpectedly powerful vocals carve out their own sonic territory.
From the first lines, “I don’t like the noise round here / It’ll stay with you for years,” Essy sets up tension between the clamour of the music world and a longing for something quieter.
When she follows with “I much prefer the Tucson sun / Walk the desert with no-one,” you get the sense that Dream Come True isn’t your typical starry-eyed pop anthem.
The chorus hits with all the force you’d expect from a track with commercial appeal, but listen closely and you’ll hear something more complex at play.
“Ooo darling don’t you hate the rush / If it’s gonna kill me / Give it all my love,” Essy sings, her voice soaring over pulsing synths.
It’s a line that sticks with you, making you wonder if she’s talking about a relationship, her budding career, or both.
As the song progresses, Essy dives deeper into the push-and-pull of chasing dreams.
“Pretty girl don’t run away / Go and kill another day” feels like advice she might be giving herself in the mirror, a pep talk tinged with exhaustion.
By the time we hit the bridge, the façade cracks completely: “It’s a dream it’s a dream / It’s a bloody nightmare / How the hell did I even get here.”
It’s a moment of raw honesty that cuts through the polished production, reminding us that behind every pop star is a person trying to figure it all out.
What’s striking about Dream Come True is how it manages to be both radio-friendly and deeply personal.
Essy’s not afraid to let her doubts show, even as she’s crafting melodies designed to stick in your head for days.
In a way, Dream Come True feels like Essy’s attempt to reconcile the allure of fame with the desire for simplicity.
The desert of Tucson represents a quieter existence, while the “noise” of the chorus speaks to the overwhelming nature of the music industry.
It’s a theme that’s likely to resonate with anyone who’s ever left home to chase a big dream, only to find themselves wondering if they’ve made the right choice.
As Essy continues to build her debut album, Dream Come True stands as a marker of an artist unafraid to explore the complexities of ambition.
It’s honest, it’s catchy, and it leaves you wondering what she’ll do next.
If this is what Essy sounds like when she’s questioning everything, imagine what she’ll create when she finds her answers.

Essy Dream Come True Lyrics
VERSE 1:
I don’t like the noise round here
It’ll stay with you for years
I much prefer the tuscon sun
Walk the desert with no-one
CHORUS:
Ooo darling don’t you hate the rush
If it’s gonna kill me
Give it all my love
Ooo baby
Burning in the blue
Fly away forever
It’s a dream come true
VERSE 2:
Pretty girl don’t run away
Go and kill another day
Got the looks to do it right
But you never sleep at night
BRIDGE:
It’s a dream it’s a dream
It’s a bloody nightmare
How the hell did I even get here
Don’t you know that I’d give all I have for this
Cause once you get there you’ll be flyin
You’ll be buyin on the next train
Once you make it you’ll be cryin
You’ll be dying for a replay
