Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) was released in 1983 by British duo Eurythmics, formed by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, as the title track of their second album. Driven by its stark synth riff and Lennox's striking visual image in the music video, it became their breakthrough international hit. Decades later the hook keeps resurfacing in films, adverts and social media edits, where its mix of glamour and unease makes it perfect shorthand for ambition, fantasy and dreams that are not quite sweet.
About this sound
A short clip of the iconic synth riff and vocal hook from Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Eurythmics, used for dreamy reveals and ironic edits.
This is the instantly recognisable opening of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), built around a pulsing synth bassline, sharp electronic drums and Annie Lennox's cool, detached vocal line. The clip captures the dark, hypnotic groove that made the song stand out, with the melody looping in a way that feels both stylish and slightly unsettling. Played over a video, it adds instant 80s atmosphere and a sense of confident, surreal momentum, turning an ordinary moment into something that feels like a stylish dream sequence or a knowing, ironic reveal.
