From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"What Dreams Are Made Of" is a song on the soundtrack of the 2003 film The Lizzie McGuire Movie. There are two versions of the song featured on the soundtrack album The Lizzie McGuire Movie: a ballad version credited to the characters Paolo and Isabella (played by Yani Gellman and Hilary Duff, respectively), and a version credited to Lizzie McGuire (played by Duff).[1]
In the United States, the Lizzie McGuire version was released on Radio Disney, and it received significant airplay despite a highly publicised split between Duff and The Walt Disney Company.[2][3] According to Billboard Radio Monitor, it was the ninth biggest song on the station in 2003.[4] The "What Dreams Are Made Of" music video shows scenes from the film and the breakthrough scene in which Lizzie is performing with Paolo in front of an audience with backing lights and dancers.
The Village Voice called it "a great song, a virtual one-tune Italo-disco revival",[5] and The News Tribune referred to it as "a ditty that's like brain Velcro: It sticks in the head. And sticks. And sticks."[6] The Lowell Sun wrote, "the song they [Paolo and Lizzie] sing together should be called "This Is What Nightmares Are Made Of", because it will echo through your brain like a stubborn migraine. After the fourth time you hear it, unless you are a young girl, you will want to thrust your hands over your ears, scream like a maniac and make a mad dash toward the nearest exit."[7]
The recording of the song released on the 2004 album Superstar Kidz 2 was sung by Madeline Melnyk, the grand prize winner of the first Superstar Kidz National Talent Contest.[8]
