*NEW YORK, NY – Multiplatinum, 12-time Grammy® Award-winner John Legend shares a new single entitled “Don’t Need To Sleep” out today via Republic Records. Listen via the player above. It soars as a standout from the We Dare To Dream Soundtrack available on all DSPs.
Executive produced by EGOT® superstar Legend and Academy® Award winner Angelina Jolie, the acclaimed 2023 Tribeca Festival selection and refugee sports documentary, We Dare To Dream, is now streaming exclusively on Peacock.
Legend notably co-wrote “Don’t Need To Sleep” with Justin Tranter and Oak Felder—who also produced the song. On the track, soft strings unspool underneath striking and soulful verses punctuated by piano. It culminates in the climactic chorus as he reminds, “Don’t need to sleep to dream.”

ABOUT WE DARE TO DREAM:
WE DARE TO DREAM is the story of refugee athletes from Iran, Syria, South Sudan, and Cameroon who swim, run, and fight their way to opportunity and safety in host nations across the world. Spanning a breadth of backgrounds, personal stories, and Olympic sports, the film reveals their lives and hopes as they train to compete on the world stage, showing the fire and the drive of young people forced to leave their families, homes, and countries of birth to build new lives out of nothing. Culminating in their competition at the summer Olympics, their compatriots back home and their new communities in refugee camps watch as these determined young athletes fight for their place in the world. This is their story of heart in the face of adversity, and most of all, hope for a better life.
WE DARE TO DREAM is executive produced by Angelina Jolie and EGOT recipient John Legend under his Get Lifted Film Co. banner, and produced by Academy Award® winner Joanna Natasegara (The White Helmets, Virunga), Emmy-winning producer Abigail Anketell-Jones (The Edge of Democracy, The Nightcrawlers) of Violet Films, two time Academy Award®-nominated producer Bryn Mooser (Body Team 12, Lifeboat), Kathryn Everett of XTR and Joe Gebbia of Studio Gebbia.
