Songfacts®:

• Atlanta superproducer Metro Boomin has consistently infused his music with a captivating cinematic quality. Whether exploring different sonic landscapes or emphasizing lyrical prowess, his beats possess a grandeur that can electrify party anthems or elevate lyrical showcases. It's no surprise he was chosen to executive produce the soundtrack for the 2023 film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
  
  Working with a diverse range of artists, Metro Boomin crafted a soundtrack that mirrors the film's distinctive visual style and expansive multiverse. This collaboration features the New York rapper ASAP Rocky and the St. Louis singer Roisee.
• Not done fighting, I don't feel I've lost
  Am I dreamin'? Is there more like us?
  
  The song opens with an otherworldly hook delivered by Roisee from the perspective of Miles Morales, Spider-Man's alter ego. She channels the spirit of Morales, a young superhero who faced many challenges but never gave up. Roisee tenaciously asserts the fight is far from over and that she refuses to succumb to defeat. She also muses on the dreamlike notion of the existence of other spider-powered heroes within the vast expanse of the Spiderverse.
• ASAP Rocky joins the narrative, embodying the voice of Miles Morales as well. In his verse, he references his own journey from the concrete jungle of Harlem, paralleling the struggles faced by Miles in his superheroic endeavors. Drawing upon personal experiences, ASAP Rocky intertwines his own narrative with that of the beloved web-slinger.
• Roisee takes the stage for the second verse, determined not to let adversity strip away everything she holds dear. Despite feeling the weight of opposition from those around her, she confronts the challenges head-on, fearlessly staring death in the face. This resonates with the themes explored in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, where Miles' mother warns him of the hostility he may encounter in the world and urges him to remain true to himself.
  
  As the movie unfolds, Miles embraces his mother's guidance, navigating a world that grows increasingly hostile and distrustful of his heroic actions. The song serves as a powerful reflection of Miles' journey, capturing his resilience in the face of adversity and the unwavering determination to protect his identity and fight for what is right.
• "Am I Dreaming" is the end credits song for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
• So who is Roisee? The St Louis native's musical journey began in 2017 when she unveiled her debut track, "Yet Again," which made its way onto various streaming services. Two years later, the singer released her debut full-length album, Summon the Roisee, which she independently released under her own label, Roisee Music Group.
