"Death Bed (Coffee for Your Head)" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by Canadian rapper and singer Powfu featuring Filipino-English singer-songwriter Beabadoobee. The song was initially uploaded to SoundCloud and YouTube in 2019; after Powfu signed with Columbia Records and Robots + Humans, the song was released on streaming services on February 8, 2020. The song samples Beabadoobee's 2017 song "Coffee" (hence the credit).
The song went viral on the video sharing app TikTok and through radio airplay in early 2020. On TikTok, the song had over 4.1 billion plays for the month of March 2020 alone. The American radio edit of the song altered any lyric relating to death in the song and radio hosts referred to the song as "Coffee for Your Head".




Background


Originally released on the Some Boring, Love Stories, Pt. 2 EP in February 2019, the song's commercial release was delayed by a year due to the clearance of the sample of Beabadoobee's 2017 song "Coffee". Powfu said on Twitter in April 2019 that he had not put it on Spotify because he was "scared [he'd] get in trouble from the sample [he] use[s] in it", but said he "would upload it anyway" and told his followers to give him "a week and a half". It was finally released to streaming and download services in February 2020. On May 28, 2020, a later version featured on his EP Poems of the Past, which included the original version, was released featuring American pop punk band Blink-182.




Composition



Columbia's British subsidiary Sony Music UK described it as a lo-fi hip hop single, while Aliya Chaudhry from Consequence deemed it as an emo rap song.




Music video


The video performance was officially uploaded to Powfu's YouTube channel on April 1, 2020. As of October 5, 2024, it has accumulated more than 717 million views.
