The Finnish Soundi magazine described Sey's music as soulful and somewhat timeless contemporary pop soul, her lyrics as both ordinary and thoughtful. According to Grady, the album is a success due to Sey's "rich and powerful voice". She said that in "I Owe You Nothing" Sey is "at her fiercest", but greater impact is made in songs that are slower and more poignant. Writing for Clash, Ashleigh Grady wrote that Sey has finally found her self-confidence. Joshi concluded the album "quietly tackles femininity and expectations" and is sweet, but also too short and feels incomplete. She called "I Owe You Nothing" fantastic, but also said it has "propulsive, defiant sentiment" that "feels lacking at times". Tara Joshi of The Guardian compared Sey's sound in I'm a Dream and her sound in her debut album Pretend, and said it is now "more forceful and confident, confronting longing, self-esteem and womanhood".

She said that in the 2016 Swedish Grammy Awards, everybody was telling her how to act and she had to repeatedly rebut them. The song was created when she got sick of how people around her were taking advantage of her benevolence and kindness. In "I Owe You Nothing" she sings "I don't have to smile for you, I don't have to move for you, I don't have to dance monkey dance for you". The song deals with issues of self-appreciation she said that she had trouble appreciating herself as a black woman in Sweden because people who look like her are usually under-represented in public life. She did not write any songs in Gambia, but she wrote "Breathe" while in Senegal. She shot music videos for "I Owe You Nothing", "Breathe", and "Remember" in The Gambia, which is the birthplace of her father. Sey travelled to West Africa in November 2017 and spent few months there. Sey drew inspiration for the album specifically from two things: her trip to West Africa and Beyoncé, who is her idol. The song "Never Get Used To" is about grief, and it is dedicated to Sey's father Maudo Sey, who died in 2013. Topical issues touched in the album include being biracial in Sweden, femininity or feminism, identity, body positivity, and grief. I'm a Dream explores genres including soul, pop, R&B, electronic, and gospel. The album was released on 7 September 2018.

The album title I'm a Dream is an ironic reference to how Sey feels she is anything but. Sey's debut launched her into becoming one of Sweden's most beloved pop musicians. Her debut single Younger became a hit – partly because it was remixed by Kygo. Stay tuned as more tracks will be released in the coming weeks and months.Sey's 2015 debut album Pretend won the acclaim of critics Time praised it as "One of the Year's Best Debut Albums".
