The Big Dream consists of eleven original "modern blues" songs and a Bob Dylan cover. In an interview with Billboard, Lynch discussed the songwriting process of The Big Dream, as well as the composition of the album. Describing the songwriting process, Lynch said that "sometimes the lyrics come first but mostly the music is talking to you about how it wants to be, and then the lyrics are born out of that." He added that most of the songs were "based on the blues and start with a jam" between himself and producer Dean Hurley. Lynch further explained that the songs are "tighter" than those on his debut studio album, Crazy Clown Time, due to his increased confidence in his musical abilities. Regarding the Bob Dylan cover "The Ballad of Hollis Brown", Lynch said it is "not really a cover of Bob Dylan as much as it is a cover of a Nina Simone cover of Bob Dylan" and noted that the song was "important for the sequence" of the album.
"I'm Waiting Here" is a bonus track (from iTunes) featuring Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li
