Zelina found inspiration for "Dream of Me" when she was with some of her best friends. Zelina says on the track:
"We got into a discussion about being a single woman and what that means. We ended up getting into a whole conversation about self-exploration and the concept of love and lust - that sometimes it's ok to not fall in love but instead indulge in the feeling of lust," She explains. "That was what inspired the song. I really just wanted this to feel empowering to women, to have freedom of expression, to explore sexuality and imagination on their own terms, and to be confident and proud of who they are and who they want to be."
Keep your eyes peeled as Arlene Zelina continues to rise internationally with her original material, and releases more material over the coming months and into the new year.
