Composition

"Sweet Dreams" is a pop and R&B song[1][2][3] that also fuses hip-hop.[4] Over twinkling synths and percussion,[2][5] it finds J-Hope and Miguel singing about their "desire to love and be loved".[1][3] The song opens with Miguel delivering the refrain in his signature falsetto ("Sweet dreams come after hours / Nothing that's not allowed / You should never sleep alone / 'Cause I'll always take you home"),[2][5][6] before J-Hope enters in the chorus, "I just wanna love ya like love ya like love ya like that".[5][6] J-Hope gives a melodic performance.[4][6]

Music video

An official music video premiered alongside the single. It sees J-Hope waking up in a house floating into the sky,[2][3][5][6] walking through a vibrant neighborhood and watching the fantastic qualities around him in awe.[2][5] The clip also shows dancing dogs and J-Hope riding a flying car. Miguel makes a brief cameo in the video.[5][3]
