Hope was released by American rapper XXXTentacion in 2018, shortly after the Parkland school shooting, and he dedicated the song to the victims. Built around a simple piano loop and a direct, reassuring refrain, it stood apart from his louder work for its gentleness. After his death later that year, fans kept sharing excerpts in tributes and edits, and the chorus continued circulating on social platforms as shorthand for comfort, resilience and remembrance, which explains its lasting use beyond the original release.
