Background and release
[edit]On August 18, JYP Entertainment first revealed that Day6 would have a double title track through Day6's social media accounts as the track list was posted.[1] On August 30 and 31, Day6 held a debut 10th anniversary tour 'DAY6 10th Anniversary Tour The Decade' at the Goyang Stadium in Goyang, in which they first performed "Dream Bus".[2]
Composition
[edit]"Dream Bus" Is written by Young K and Hong Ji-sang and composed by Young K, Sungjin, Wonpil and Hong Ji-sang.[3] The song is composed in the key F sharp minor and has 180 beats per minute and a running time of 2 minutes and 40 seconds.[4]
It's a song that compares the life we live on to a bus. The song style is a genre that we like very much and a genre that we are confident in. I thought it was a song that we couldn't miss from our 10th anniversary album, so I chose it as the title song.
— Wonpil describing the song[5]
