"You're the Dream" was chosen as the anthem track for the 2002 Special Olympics which was hosted by Walt Disney Records.

Myra together with its other orthographical version Mira is a feminine given name with varying meanings. It is related to the Latin and Slavic words for "wonder", "peace" and "wonderful. It is also а female given name in the English-speaking world. The male equivalent is Myron.

The name was created by the 17th-century poet Fulke Greville 1st Barone Brooke (1554–1628). He possibly based it on Latin myrra meaning " myrrh". Myrrh is a fragrant resin obtained from a tree.

The name may also mean Margaret, as it can be the anglicized version of Mairead, the Scottish version of that name.

It is distinct from " Mira" which has a different origin.
