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

The song was released in the UK on 11 September 2006; however, a download-only version was available one week earlier and charted at #46 (without any physical sales).

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

This song was also featured in an AT&T commercial during May 2008 for a Samsung phone.^{[citation needed]}
