"death bed (coffee for your head)" had a life online before it had a label. Canadian rapper and singer Powfu first put it up on SoundCloud and YouTube in 2019, built on a sample of "Coffee", a 2017 song by Filipino-English singer-songwriter Beabadoobee, who takes the featured credit. Once he signed with Columbia and Robots + Humans, it reached streaming services on February 8, 2020, and it also sits on his EP poems of the past.
Then TikTok got hold of it: more than 4.1 billion plays in March 2020 alone, and radio followed. American stations ran an edit that changed every line about death, and DJs took to calling it "Coffee for Your Head". Powfu, Beabadoobee, Oscar Lang and Christian Michael Klosterman share the writing credit on a slice of lo-fi hip-hop hush built for headphones at 2 a.m.
