Empire of The Sun (Luke Steele dan Nick Litllemore), meluncurkan lagu itu di negara asal mereka pada Agustus 2008 untuk album berjudul sama. Tahun berikutnya, single dan lagu "Walking on A Dream" masuk ke pasar Amerika Utara.
Charli Lark merilis ulang "Walking on A Dream" dengan sentuhan pop kontemporer yang memberikan nuansa baru pada lagu electropop itu. "Walking on A Dream" mengekspresikan perasaan bahagia, cinta dan mengejar kesenangan.
Charli Lark membuat konsep video musik yang berbeda dengan Empire of The Sun untuk "Walking on A Dream". Dengan latar surealis dan mengesankan di atas awan, dia ingin memberikan kesan tentang rasa bebas dan senang karena sedang menjalani mimpi (walking on a dream).
Lirik lagu Charli Lark "Walking on a Dream"
Walking on a dream How can I explain?
Talking to myself
Will I see again?
We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill,
searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out, out again
Never looking down, I'm just in awe of what's in front of me
Is it real now?
Two people become one
I can feel it
Two people become one
Thought I'd never see
The love you found in me
Now it's changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minute's working overtime
We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill,
searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out, out again
Never looking down, I'm just in awe of what's in front of me
Is it real now?
Two people become one
I can feel it
Two people become one
Is it real now?
Two people become one
I can feel it
Two people become one
Catch me, I'm falling down
Catch me, I'm falling down
Don't stop, just keep going on
I'm your shoulder, lean upon
So come on, deliver from inside
All we got is tonight
Is it real now?
Two people become one
I can feel it
Two people become one
Is it real now?
Two people become one
I can feel it
Two people become one
Is it real now?
Don’t stop
Is it real now?
Going on
I can feel it
Two people become one
