"Pipe Dreams" is described as a mid-tempo, gospel-tinged R&B song.[1][4][5] It closes with an organ solo.[3][5] According to Furtado, the single talks about the false hope of dreaming.[6] The single has a theme of a fantasy world.[4] Furtado said about the lyrical content:
"A lot of [The Ride] touches on that, in terms of sanity versus reality. The comedown, the hangover after the rush, and how you put the pieces back together, and how you make amends with the realer parts of life."
The music video for "Pipe Dreams" was released on December 20, 2016.[7] It is filmed through a VHS lens.[8]
