'"We Just Be Dreamin' "' is a song by ten piece hip-hop group Blazin' Squad, released as the lead single from their second studio album, 'Now or Never'.
Background
Despite the final single from 'In the Beginning' only being released in February 2003, the band quickly began work on their second studio release, and in June 2003, the group released "We Just Be Dreamin'" as the album's lead single. Prior to the single's release, the group's record label East West had been attempting to take the group in a new direction, and as such, two versions of "We Just Be Dreamin' " were recorded, under the working title of "We Dreemin". The first version recorded was a rap version, featuring three different rap verses. The second version was a vocal version, featuring three different vocal performance verses. As the record label were unsure of which version to release, they packaged one version with each of the physical singles. The rap version received more prominent airplay, and was also featured on 'Now or Never', and in the song's music video. The single was released on June 23, 2003, peaking at #3 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's most successful single since "Crossroads".
