Desfado is the fifth studio album by Portuguese singer Ana Moura, and was released in November 2012.

The album contained Dream Of Fire, a track for which Ana Moura wrote the melody while Prince provided the lyrics. The album version song has no musical input from Prince, as Ana Moura recorded it with her own musicians, including legendary American pianist, keyboardist, band-leader and composer Herbie Hancock on Fender Rhodes.

While specific recording dates for Dream Of Fire are not known, the album was mostly recorded in May 2012
