Daydreamin' is the Grammy Award–winning third single taken from Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor album. The single is based around a sample of "Daydream in Blue" by I Monster, a song that heavily samples "Daydream" by Gunter Kallman Choir (which in itself is a cover, the original being written by The Wallace Collection) and features soul singer Jill Scott and music from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, the Danse de Cygnes.

The song was released in the UK on 11 September 2006; however, the single was released on downloads only a week earlier and managed to chart at #46 there without any physical sales.

In 2008 Daydreamin' won the Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.

This song is also featured in an AT&T commercial.
