Daydream is the fourth studio album by South Korean boy group Highlight. It was released on March 21, 2022, by Around US Entertainment and distributed by Kakao Entertainment.[1] The album contains ten tracks, with the lead single sharing its name with the album.[2] Three versions were released, titled Before the Dream, In the Dream, and After the Dream.[3] The album reached number 4 on the Gaon (now Circle) Album Chart.
On March 2, 2022, News1 announced that Highlight would be making a surprise comeback in the same month, ten months after the release of their post-enlistment EP, The Blowing.[4] The news was later confirmed by Around US Entertainment on March 7 to be the group's first full album release following their rebrand to their current name Highlight, and their first full album in five years.[5] [6] Its release date was announced to be on March 21, 2022. The group also released a highlight film to showcase snippets of the ten tracks which were partially co-written by members Lee Gikwang and Son Dongwoon.[7]
Daydream is described to be a "medium tempo pop-dance song with lyrical vocals and a delicately tuned arrangement."[8] The lyrics are a confession of love that speak from the perspective of someone experiencing heartbreak, wanting to stay in their eternal daydream where they remain with their lover. Leader Yoon Dujun added that "[Daydream] goes well with spring. The lyrics are sentimental. It is a hybrid song that fulfills both moods."
