About
Hey Wake Up, I Died refers to a trend and series of TikToks in which a person will post a video of themselves with a caption detailing a way they nearly died in their lives as though they're posting from an alternate universe. The TikTok trend is typically accompanied by the song "Old Doll" from the video game Mad Father.
