"This Is Me" is a song by American girl group Dream. It was released on May 1, 2001 as the second single off their debut album It Was All a Dream (2001). It was written in 2000 by Steve Kipner, David Frank and Pamela Sheyne, the same team that wrote their debut single "He Loves U Not".
The song was a minor hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking within the top 40 at number 39, making this their second and final song to appear on that chart. It also peaked at numbers 13, 17 and 80 on the Mainstream Top 40, Top 40 Tracks and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts respectively. An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Marcus Raboy, premiered on MTV's Total Request Live and features the group in different settings: all four girls in different colored rooms, a rave and a dance club. They first performed the song live on Live with Regis and Kelly and would make later appearances at the 2001 Walt Disney World Summer Jam Concert, Teen Choice Presents: Teenapalooza and The Early Show.
An official remix of the song was released on July 2001 as the group's third and final single that featured P. Diddy and Kain and was produced by Mario Winans that incorporated "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" by Bob James. The song peaked at number 5 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart. A music video for the remix, directed by Chris Robinson, premiered on TRL and featured the artists in different settings. This version was regularly performed live during MTV's Total Request Live Tour.
