"Medicate" is a song written and recorded by Internet personality and singer-songwriter Gabbie Hanna released on February 1, 2019. [1] It was released for digital download and streaming as the lead single from Hanna's debut EP, 2WayMirror.

"Medicate" has a length of three minutes and twenty four seconds. [3] It is in the key of G minor, with Hanna's vocal range spanning from the low note of F3 to the high note of C5. [4] The lyrics of "Medicate" explore the theme of anti-depressants and wondering if it will help with depression. [5]
Nashmia Adnan, writing for Dankanator, called the song "more professional and mature" in comparison to her previous singles. [5]
A music video for the song was uploaded to Youtube on February 2, 2019. [6] The video features Hanna in a warehouse, sitting on a chair with multiple of the same chairs forming a circle. At the climax to the song, a second version of Hanna appears—a version seen in previous music videos of hers. [6]
