| Sometime before July 3, 2021, a Facebook user named Jitomate Triste posted on Facebook, either in his private feed or in a private group, asking for the song's name. A video edit of the song, featuring footage from Disney's animated film Alice in Wonderland, was attached to the post. Jitomate Tristes' post received little attention and was dismissed.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231123172455/https://www.facebook.com/1261341603/videos/3148428885376852/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/LaCancionDeAlicia/comments/1be0xcd/lcda_lcda_related_timeline/</ref>

| The search gained traction in September 2021 on the Spanish internet, when it was initially uploaded on r/lostmedia and r/lostwave by users Longjumping-Table819 and GameMonkeyDev respectively.<ref name=":0"/><ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/pisug4/hi_everybody_im_from_lost_media_perdidos_posting/</ref> As the community grew, it became widely assumed that the singer was not a native English speaker and most likely had a Spanish accent.<ref name=":0" />

| In mid-October 2021, a YouTube user named 'Yo yoyo' suggested that Chilean alt-rock band Gin & Tonic could have created the song.<ref>https://www.discogs.com/release/30220364-Gin-Tonic-Free-As-The-Sun</ref> The band in question was formed in 2001, and split sometime in 2005. In 2003, the group released their first and only album, Free as the Sun, with English vocals and a similar musical style.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20041030142422/http://www.bandasdechile.cl/banda_detalle.php?banda_id=1364</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeCDTKGjbLo</ref>

| In late October, some people contacted Gin & Tonic's vocalist, Ricardo Méndez, who confirmed that the song was not created by him or his band. Later, Méndez would record a cover of "La Cancion De Alicia" on his channel, @richardvox, titled "Under The Stars".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6R6-uPMi8E</ref>

| On May 16, 2024, Reddit user JMike_324 shared his discovery of the song, which he found after showing it to a friend at a university, who recognized it as being by the Peruvian band "Bad Influence".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Lostwave/comments/1cttng2/we_found_la_cancion_de_alicia/</ref> They linked to a post from November 29, 2018, in which the band performed the song live; the song's name was revealed to be "Dreams 4ever," and was recorded in November 2018.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/100063153434308/videos/2049906881755656/?mibextid=oFDknk&rdid=YyEfKwHGV0eJq1hE</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhJRc3W3dk4</ref>

| The band's guitarist created the Alice in Wonderland edit, which was uploaded to the Indie 505 Facebook page, but deleted an hour later by a moderator. This is where Jitomate Triste, presumably a member of the page, downloaded and re-uploaded the video.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Lostwave/comments/1cu276e/message_from_one_of_the_members_of_bad_influence/</ref>

| |
| |'''(Verse 1)'''
| |
| Last night I could find, something warm
| |
|
| |
| In the middle of the night it calls me
| |
|
| |
| Between the life and death, you decide
| |
|
| |
| A million miles away, it searches me
| |
|
| |
| '''(Refrain)'''
| |
|
| |
| When I see your face in the darkness night
| |
|
| |
| I just wanna be the only who change your mind
| |
|
| |
| But my life is real, you're a simple dream
| |
|
| |
| That remember me the love is a mystery
| |
|
| |
| Oh please, let me be this boy, who you never forgot
| |
|
| |
| I won't close my eyes, but somebody wake me up
| |
|
