About

POV: 2K Sunsets Healed You, also known by the phrasal template POV: X Sunsets Healed You, refers to an exploitable video meme format based on a video posted by TikToker FooFee (@foofee_da_gamer) in early June 2025, which showed himself getting "healed" by a sunset in the basketball video game NBA 2K. FooFee is shown in the top half wearing a grey turtleneck sweater and glasses, looking serenely at the digital sunset. The video had a POV caption that read, "POV: 2K sunsets HEALED you ❤️‍🩹 🌅." It was set to the song "Best Part" by H.E.R. and Daniel Caesar. In the following weeks, meme creators swapped the video game reference and recaptioned the text, replacing the name of the sunset in question. Some also replaced FooFee with either themself or a character akin to the setting of their choosing.
