About
The "Alexander Come Back to Sleep" Trend, also known as the Hamilton Window Trend, is a TikTok lip dub trend based on the song "Best of Wives and Best of Women" from the musical Hamilton in which one person plays Alexander Hamilton trying to sneak out of the house, often through the window, while another plays Eliza Hamilton trying to convince him to come back to bed. The trend was started by TikToker @actuallyhamilt0n on July 22nd, 2025, garnering viral spread throughout August of that year. That month, Lin Manuel Miranda, creator of Hamilton, participated in the trend.
