Swanga Swang just dropped “Dreaming”, and it’s more than just a song—it’s a journey through pain, healing, and personal evolution. After losing his mother, sister, and father in a matter of months, the artist channeled his grief into a track that speaks directly to the soul. “Dreaming” is his way of honoring his loved ones while also sending a message of resilience to anyone who’s ever felt the weight of the world on their shoulders.
The moment Swang knew he had to make the song came when he heard a beat that spoke to him. “When I was going through some instrumentals, this one beat matched the feeling of what I was going through—the pain, the heartache,” he says. It was heavy. He cried for days as he tried to write it, but he pushed through. “God gave me the strength to finish writing it,” he says. That raw emotion is all over the track—“Dreaming” feels like a battle between grief and strength, almost like Swang is telling himself (and us) that despite the pain, we’ve got to keep going.
The title “Dreaming” is no coincidence. After losing his mom on July 11th, 2022, and then his sister and father just months later, Swang still feels like he’s caught in a dream—a world where none of it feels real. But instead of sinking into despair, he poured everything into this track, knowing it was something bigger than him. “It had to be done,” he says, and now that song is a message of hope for anyone who’s lost someone close.
His musical roots run deep. Growing up with a pastor for a father and a mother who played the organ, Swang’s sound mixes church soul, old-school country, and R&B. “Dreaming” isn’t just about loss—it’s also about his evolution as an artist. “I’m more versatile now,” he says, and it shows. From his ’90s R&B hit “Cherry Wine” to this genre-blending masterpiece, Swang has found a way to fuse hip-hop, country, and soul into one space that’s uniquely his own.
The track also carries a spiritual weight, something Swang says comes from his upbringing. “Music is a blessing,” he says. “It’s like therapy for me.” And that’s what “Dreaming” is—therapy not just for him, but for everyone who presses play. It’s an anthem for anyone who’s felt like giving up but keeps going anyway.
So if you’re looking for a song that speaks to your heart, your struggles, and your resilience, “Dreaming” is it. Swang Swang’s journey is far from over—this track is just a glimpse of the new sound he’s crafting, blending grief, hope, and evolution in a way only he can.
