Katie Belle’s “Bad Dreams” hits that space between restless and alive — the kind of song that keeps you company when you can’t switch your brain off. It’s got this smooth, synthy pulse that feels like the glow of city lights at 2 a.m., while her voice floats over it, calm but full of emotion. You can tell she’s lived every word.

The song is about her long struggle with insomnia, and it shows. Lines like “Can’t sleep cause I’m all in my head” aren’t just lyrics — they’re the kind of thoughts that loop when the world is quiet. But instead of staying in the dark, she turns that energy into something that moves. The beat keeps pushing forward, like it’s reminding you to dance it out instead of drowning in it.

What’s cool is how honest it feels. It’s not trying too hard to be deep, it just is. You get the sense Katie wrote this as a way to breathe again, and somehow, that feeling transfers right through the speakers. “Bad Dreams” is catchy, emotional, and strangely comforting — like a reminder that none of us are alone in the late-night chaos.
