"Hopelessly Coping" is a song by the British drum and bass producer Wilkinson. It features vocals from Huddersfield singer Thabo. It was released on 17 May 2015 through RAM Records and Virgin EMI. The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 49.
Speaking about the song's history, Wilkinson said the following: <blockquote>"I wrote three different versions of the song,â he says. âÂÂI took everything out rebuilt it. Like fitting a house, I guess. Stripped it all out, started again and wrote a whole new tune. Three times. It started to make me realise the elements I actually liked. When youâÂÂre too deep into a track you donâÂÂt realise which components are really working. So stripping it back and adding them back in gradually made me realise the key points that I like. I played with the structure and went in deeper for the more chilled, liquid roller vibe that it is today."</blockquote>
The song was originally slated for release on 3 May 2015, but got later pushed back to 15 May.
A music video was first released onto YouTube on 22 March 2015. The video has since accumulated over one million views.
