"Liquid Dreams" is a song by American boy band O-Town. It was released in December 2000 as the lead single from their debut album O-Town. The song reached number-one in Canada, number 10 in the United States, and number 3 in the United Kingdom. The song is all about wet dreams filled with sexual innuendos and pop culture references.

Background

O-Town was assembled for the first season of the ABC reality television series Making the Band. Originally Ikaika Kahoano was one of the five members selected but he and his family decided he should go to med school instead causing him to back out, making way for Dan Miller who was selected by the four remaining members.

The ratings of Making the Band were strong enough to warrant a second (and eventually third) season. These subsequent seasons depicted their development as a pop group, following their tours and performances. Such events included the development of their second album, O2, their transition to a new record label (J Records), and an ongoing effort to establish themselves. The third season of Making the Band was broadcast on MTV, instead of the original network, ABC. After season one, Clive Davis of J Records signed O-Town to his new label as he believed in the marketability of the group, and scheduled O-Town to be the label's debut act.

Chart performance

"Liquid Dreams", was the first single to reach number 1 on the Billboard singles sales chart without making the Airplay chart. It managed to peak at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song also reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart.
