"Dreaming Love" is a mid-tempo song driven by banjo accompanied by an acoustic guitar (and during the chorus, percussion), and features a fiddle bridge. The song describes the narrator as being asleep and having dreams of love. Kate & Kacey wrote the song themselves a couple of months before its release, and spoke of it in their interview with Matt Bjorke of Roughstock. "Whereas “You’re Not My Judge” says “nobody can tell me not to follow my dreams, I’m gonna follow them anyway,” this one’s sorta like that but it’s more talking about your own personal demons."Reception
Georgia Jukebox reviewer Amy Blizzard spoke positively of the song. "The song is expectedly youthful and the lyrics pleasant and simplistic." She noted that although it may have a limited appeal, "beautiful, crystal-clear vocals and impressive harmonies Kate & Kacey can easily hold their own and are a pair of rising young talents to keep an eye on for whom the best may be yet to come."

A music video, directed by Kristin Barlowe, was released for the song to CMT on June 5, 2009. The video begins with Kate & Kacey lying asleep on a blanket. They are shown performing the song in a grassy meadow and driving in a Cadillac, following a man who is leaving handkerchiefs tied to trees along the side of the road. After picking up another guy at a gas station on the side of the road, the two end up at an elaborate tree house. Kacey and the man from the gas station stop halfway up the tree as Kate continues to follow the notes left by the other man. The final note she finds reads 'Wake up,' and the video ends with the two girls lying on the blanket asleep.Chart performance
