beabadoobee & The Marías present an ultimatum on 'All I Did Was Dream of You' with haunting MV — watch

In one of the most iconic collaborations of 2026 so far, beabadoobee and The Marías have joined forces, blending their heart-wrenching musicality to give fans the hauntingly beautiful single 'All I Did Was Dream of You'.

The bruising softness of the airy vocals glistens with the visceral darkness that this track exudes. Each lyric is soaked with a sense of pain, desperation, and concealed reluctance as it tells the story of refusing to be strung along. The lyrics almost beg as they say, "Stay or just leave me be", desperate to walk away from the flaming wreck that the relationship with this person has become.

The Marías’ dreamy, aquatic vibes merge perfectly with beabadoobee’s spark, creating a stellar mix. Although the track starts off dreamy and gentle, the rage builds as the tensions surface, escaping in a slow alt rock sequence with bruising drums and searing guitar riffs backing up beabadoobee's vocals perfectly. Maria captures the depth of emotion in her voice as she sings stabbing lyrics like "Doesn't feel like I can breathe They follow me But I let go". Her incredible ability to capture the aching nuance of the message in her delivery twists the knife.

The track's lingering darkness comes through in the eerie melancholy of the music video as beabadoobee sings the track, walking away from an overturned car as she trudges along a frozen, barren city. Her wistfulness carries her to a bar, where she watches a happy couple dance, and even to the meat and seafood section of a supermarket, contemplating the literal and figurative rawness of emotion and form. She walks us through all the events that happened prior to the crash we see at the beginning of the video, symbolising how a series of seemingly inconsequential events can have catastrophic effects, even in a relationship.

'All I Did Was Dream of You' lingers long after the final note, a haunting thesis on love’s fragile, combustible nature. beabadoobee and The Marías craft a world where desire, regret, and longing collide, inviting listeners to feel the ache, the tension, and the bittersweet beauty of surrendering to emotion’s unpredictable tides. Each note, each lyric, each lingering pause pulls you deeper into a story that is as intimate as it is universal.
