Walking on a Dream

Steele, Littlemore and Jonathan Sloan wrote it, and Empire of the Sun, Sloan and Mayes produced; it is in F minor at 127 bpm and runs 3:16. It was recorded in August 2007 at Soundworks and Linear in Sydney. The lead single came out digitally on August 30, 2008, with a UK 7-inch on February 16, 2009 and a CD single on July 6, 2009. Remixes included Sam Littlemore's, Van She Tech and Hong Kong Blondes, and a Reimagined release with remixes by TEED and Kaskade came on September 26, 2025. The video, directed by Josh Logue, was shot on the Bund in Shanghai in July and August 2008 with costumes inspired by Peking Opera, and had 5.5 million MySpace views by April 2009.

It reached 10 in Australia, 8 in Flanders and Ireland and 64 in the UK. After a Honda Civic advertisement in 2016 it entered the US Hot 100 at 65 and went to number 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart. It is 15 times platinum in Australia, and won the 2009 ARIA single of the year and the 2010 APRA dance work of the year; it came fourth in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2008 and 24th in the Hottest 100 of Australian Songs in 2025. Rolling Stone Australia notes it has passed a billion streams, and Littlemore described the pressure after the hit as like trying to grip lava. It was used in Hall Pass (2011), Forza Horizon (2012) and a Tesco advertisement from March 2026. Wiz Khalifa's "The Thrill" samples it. We found no setlist count, and cannot say which version our upload is.
