City Dreams (interlude)[1] is a song by The Midnight. It is the fourteenth track from their album Monsters.

The song was written by band members Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle and produced by McEwan. It has a running time of two minutes and 17 seconds and is in the key of D major.

City Dreams is a callback to Seventeen. A faint male voice can be heard doing an advert for a clothing or department store. Towards the end, the chorus of Seventeen is heard. During an interview with Magnetic Magazine, the band talked about the desire to revisit Seventeen through City Dreams:[2]

Tim: Vaporwave in its purest. The echoes of “Seventeen” ties it back to the start of the album and really makes it clear that all of this was a memory. A photograph that is now faded.

Tyler: We wanted the colors of “Seventeen” to come back near the end of the record and give some space before the denouement. This is the palate cleanser.

The advert heard in the track is from an October 1989 Kmart cassette tape[3] and says:

Fantastic fall fashions are in our ladies and girls department today. You can choose from our Hunter's Glen collection, an array of fashion fall pants, sweaters and shirts, all in the latest styles and colors. For that sporty look we have a great selection of novelty fleece tops, private labels and labeled jeans. We also have a terrific selection of girl sweaters and fleece separates to choose from.
