"Livin' the Dream" is a song written by Tom Douglas, Jaren Johnston and Luke Laird and recorded by American country music artist Drake White.
The song is about a "lower middle class couple" who are struggling but "focusing on the emotional salve of the healthy, adoring relationship".
White told Billboard that "This song does have a realistic point to it that there are bad things going on out there, but at the end of the day, it’s that tough stuff that makes the good stuff good.
"[1] The song's arrangement relies mainly on nylon-string guitar playing "a mix of major chords and seventh chords that creates a descending melodic pattern pocked with dissonance and release.
"[1] Taste of Country reviewed the song favorably, praising the soulfulness of White's delivery, comparing his vocals favorably to James Otto.
