"Cold December" is a song by American rapper and singer Rod Wave. It was released through Alamo Records and Sony Music on January 17, 2022, and is the second single from Wave's fourth studio album Beautiful Mind (2022). The song was produced by TnTXD, Lukecmon, JB, and ThatBossEvan, who all wrote the song with Rod, while the only other known credit is Travis Harrington for being the recording engineer. A country-influenced R&B and trap ballad, the song sees Rod emotionally looking back to previous romantic relationships while it samples American singer-songwriter Hank Williams Jr.'s song, "O.D.'d in Denver", from his thirtieth studio album, Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound (1979).[1][2][3][4]
