"Escapism" is a song by British singer-songwriter Raye featuring American rapper 070 Shake. It was released independently on 12 October 2022, as the third single from her debut album, My 21st Century Blues (2023), as a double A-side with "The Thrill Is Gone".[4][5] It was co-written by Raye, 070 Shake, and Mike Sabath, with Sabath handling production. "Escapism" is an uptempo R&B, electropop, and hip-hop song with lyrics speaking of escaping from reality and dealing with heartbreak.

"Escapism" is considered Raye's breakout single as a solo artist. It gained attention on TikTok in 2022, became her first number-one single in the UK, and has been certified platinum by the BPI. It also topped the charts in Ireland and Denmark and entered the top ten of the charts in over twenty countries. It has been certified gold, platinum, or higher in over twelve regions. It became both Raye's and 070 Shake's first song to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 22.

The song's accompanying music video, directed by Raye and Otis Dominique, depicts the singer turning to "partying, drinking, and drugs to escape her emotions and numb her feelings" after breaking up with her boyfriend. It won "Best Social Trended Song" at the Global Awards, "Best Contemporary Song" at the Ivor Novello Awards, and was nominated for "Best Independent Track" and "Best Independent Video" at the AIM Independent Music Awards. It also received a nomination for "Best British Pop Single" at the Popjustice £20 Music Award Show. In 2024, it won "Song of the Year" at the Brit Awards 2024.[6]

Composition and lyrics

"Escapism" incorporates trip-hop in its production.[7] Raye stated that she "love[s] how rebellious" "Escapism" is for disregarding "the standard" of "pop music structure", particularly being "longer than three minutes and twenty seconds".[5]

The song depicts Raye on a post-breakup spree of unhealthy coping mechanisms, engaging in hookups, drugs, and alcohol.[8] Raye explained that the song is about escaping from reality and dealing with heartbreak.[7][9] In an interview with Clash, Raye revealed that she wrote the song in a log cabin in Utah: "Me and a friend hired a car, and drove up there, in the middle of winter, through the snow and everything! 'Escapism' is a story about running away from everything as fast as you can. The lyrics are about just leaving everyone on read, and going out on your own. It came from a messy time, but as humans, we just have to keep surviving!"[10]

Critical reception

Amit Vaidya of Rolling Stone India named "Escapism" one of the Best International Songs of 2022. They added how "Escapism" showcases Raye's "journey to achieving her musical freedom" and how "Escapism" "perfectly captures the angst and the aura of the singer—a vocal shape-shifter who now is the boss and we just love it!"[6]

Awards

The song won Best Contemporary Song at the 2023 Ivor Novello Awards,[11] "Best Social Trended Song" at the 2023 Global Awards,[12] and "Song of the Year" at the Brit Awards 2024.[13] It was nominated for "Best Independent Track" and "Best Independent Video" at the 2023 AIM Independent Music Awards,[14] and "Best British Pop Single" at the Popjustice £20 Music Award Show.[15]

Music video

It reflects the song's lyrics, with Raye turning to "partying, drinking, and drugs to escape her emotions and numb her feelings" after breaking up with her boyfriend. The video makes use of point-of-view cameras.[8] In an interview with Shots, Raye mentioned, "We worked really hard to create an honest depiction of where I was at that time in my life. It was fun and wild. We shot it over a couple of days and wore point-of-view cameras during a wild night out at many different clubs. I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and I ran 150 meters in 5-inch heels. We really took it there!"[22]

Live performances

On 15 October 2022, Raye performed "Escapism" live for the first time on Later... with Jools Holland.[23] In December 2022, the singer released a live performance recorded at Metropolis Studios in London.[24] On 13 February 2023, Raye made her US network television debut performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.[25] On 26 September 2023, Raye performed a live version of "Escapism" at the Royal Albert Hall, London, accompanied by the Heritage Orchestra and the Flames Collective gospel choir, with Anna Lapwood on the venue's organ.[26][27] On 6 April 2024, Raye performed "Escapism" on Saturday Night Live.[27]
