"American Dream" is a song by Jakatta. The track samples two Thomas Newman pieces from the soundtrack for the film American Beauty: "Any Other Name" and "Dead Already". A remix was released in 2001. Unusually for a dance track, the majority of the track is in 6/4 time instead of the much more common 4/4.
