"Daydream Believer" is a song composed by American songwriter John Stewart shortly before he left The Kingston Trio. It was originally recorded by the Monkees, with Davy Jones singing the lead. The single reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1967, remaining there for four weeks, and peaked at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart. It was the Monkees' third and last No. 1 hit in the U.S.
In 1979, "Daydream Believer" was recorded by Canadian singer Anne Murray, whose version reached No. 3 on the U.S. country singles chart and No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has been recorded by others, including a 1971 version by Stewart.
The song title was featured in the name of the 2000 biopic about the band, Daydream Believers: The Monkees' Story.[3][4]
The 2022 American drama Women Talking and The Quarry features this song.[5]

...Douglas effortlessly pulls in the strings and horns of that first baroque pop period...adapting the Monkees' starry-eyed pop to the psychedelic moment.
