"Escapism" is a song by the British singer-songwriter Raye featuring the American rapper 070 Shake. It was released independently through Human Re Sources on 12 October 2022, as the third single from Raye's debut studio album, My 21st Century Blues (2023), and as a dual single with "The Thrill Is Gone".[4][5] Both artists wrote the song with its producer, Mike Sabath. "Escapism" is an uptempo R&B, electropop, and hip-hop song with lyrics about 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 British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It also topped the charts in Ireland and Denmark and entered the top-10 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.

Raye and Otis Dominique directed the song's accompanying music video. It depicts the singer turning to "partying, drinking, and drugs to escape her emotions and numb her feelings" after breaking up with her boyfriend. "Escapism" won various accolades, including Song of the Year at the Brit Awards 2024,[6] Best Social Trended Song at the Global Awards, and Best Contemporary Song at the Ivor Novello Awards.
