Songfacts®:

• Sleepy Hallow is Tegan Chambers, a Jamaican-American drill rapper from the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. He came to prominence in 2020 with "Deep End Freestyle," which features vocals by Fousheé and peaked at #80 on the Hot 100. That earned him a contract with Winners Circle Entertainment and RCA Records. "2055" is a song from his debut album, Still Sleep?
• I just wanna slide
  Parties in the sky like it's 2055
  
  When Prince sang of wanting to "party like it's 1999," he was advocating enjoying ourselves while we can, before we're all wiped out by the bomb. Sleepy Hallow's lyrics are more melancholic as he raps about his struggles with street life, fake friends and lying women. Because his heart is so cold, Sleepy doesn't want to get involved in the gangsta lifestyle and prefers to chill on his own.
• New Jersey producer Great John supplied the somber beat. Great John produces most of Sleepy Hallow's songs, as well as those of Sleepy's friend, fellow drill rapper Sheff G.
• Aylo directed the futuristic video with animation by Owen Khang, Akam Hussein Rustam and Melis Sosa. It sees Sleepy Hallow travel to a cyberpunk city, which is his interpretation of what 2055 will probably look like.
• Sleepy Hallow told Genius in a video, the song is about escaping his problems by picturing himself in the future: "It's like getting away from everything, whatever problems you got, stress, (you) feel me?" he explained. "Just being in that zone in your own moment, you in 2055, you in the future, you doin' whatever you want."
