"2055" is a song by American rapper Sleepy Hallow, released on April 14, 2021 as the second single from his debut studio album Still Sleep? (2021). Produced by Great John and UV Killin Em, it is his highest-charting song, peaking at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100. The official remix of the song was released on July 28, 2021, and features American rapper Coi Leray. In the song, Sleepy Hallow uses a melodic delivery over a beat of guitar and drums with a melancholy tone and lyrics about his loneliness: "I just wanna slide, huh / Parties in the sky like it's 2055, huh / She said 'Boy you nice, boy you nice', huh / Heart cold like some water and some ice (Huh)". He sings about mistrust and struggles in his street life as well ("Real niggas cry blood (Blood) / Hope my kid never try drugs (Huh) / All I wanted was some love, would that trade for a gun (Huh) / Big pack on me now, remember back then I was fucked up, huh / I don't really want friends, everybody fake, I don't got trust"). A music video was released alongside the single. The animated visual was directed by Aylo and animation was designed by Owen Khang, Akam Hussein Rustam and Melis Sosa. It features an alternate world with a futuristic city setting, which Sleepy Hallow goes to. He stops by at a party where he meets a bartender that is "not exactly what she seems to be at first", and rides around the city in a "high-tech car". It has over 35 million views on YouTube. On July 13, 2021, Sleepy Hallow performed the song on the Open Mic of Genius.
