Pieces of a Dream is the 2005 greatest hits compilation by the American pop/rock singer Anastacia, covering singles from her first three studio albums Not That Kind, Freak of Nature and Anastacia. Just two of Anastacia's singles - "Boom", the official 2002 FIFA World Cup anthem, and "Love Is a Crime", the official soundtrack of the 2002 film Chicago - were omitted from the album, but are found as remixes in the Special Edition of the album).
There were never any official plans to release the album in the United States, to many American fans disappointment. Surprisingly though, the regular edition was released on iTunes.
The album returned to the UK Top 75 albums in April 2007.

Only three singles were released, Everything Burns, Pieces of a Dream and I Belong to You. It was rumoured that In Your Eyes would be released on April 10th 2006, but it never was. There was also rumours about a video shoot in a bowling alley in Munich.
The Club Megamix was never released, still, a video was made, using clips of all of Anastacia's previous videos.
[edit] Notes for the tracks
- The Spanish edition of the disc features "I Belong to You (El Ritmo De La Pasión)" with Ramazzotti's lyrics in Spanish.
- The Club Megamix includes Left Outside Alone, Sick & Tired, Paid My Dues, Not That Kind, One Day in Your Life and I'm Outta Love remixes.
- The version of "You'll Never Be Alone" that is in the album is the US mix--utilizing an acoustic guitar instead of a piano based melody.
