Discover the story of the song > Sweet Dream Lullaby Version – Alessia Cara

The protagonist is having trouble falling asleep because her mind is racing and she can't seem to calm it down. She wonders if it's late at night or early in the morning because she can't tell. She tries to count sheep and meditate, but it doesn't help. During the day, she can distract herself from her thoughts, but at night, she feels overwhelmed. She wishes she could have a sweet dream to give her a break from her overwhelming feelings. She wants the Sandman to visit her and bring her a sweet dream. She's frustrated that everyone else knows how to sleep soundly while she struggles.
