Dream is the third Japanese-language extended play by South Korean boy band Seventeen. It was released on November 9, 2022, through Hybe Labels Japan. It contains one original song, "Dream", the Japanese version of two songs originally released in Korean, "Rock with You" and "All My Love", and the "holiday" version of the English track "Darl+ing".[1] The EP has been marketed as the band's "first" Japanese-language EP[1] despite Seventeen having recorded two previous Japanese EPs, We Make You and 24H, which were officially classified as "mini-album".[2]

Composition

The lyrics were written by Woozi, Bumzu and Lee Beom-hun. The lead single, "Dream", hints at the group's dream to become stars.[3]
