Dream Big is a pop/rock song performed by David Cook on the American Idol Season 7 Finale. It was written by Emily Shackleton as an entry for the American Idol Songwriting Contest 2008. The song was one of the top 10 finalists, losing to The Time Of My Life (David Cook's debut single). On the Top 2 Performance Night, the contestants had to choose a song to perform from the top 10 songs; and Cook chose this. His performance received positive reviews from Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul however Simon Cowell criticized it since the song didn't sound like a winning song.

After the season ended, the song debuted at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest of Cook's Idol Performances.
