"Holy Smokes" is a song by the American rapper Trippie Redd featuring the American rapper Lil Uzi Vert from the former's fourth studio album, Trip at Knight (2021). It was released by 1400 Entertainment and 10K Projects on July 16, 2021, as the second single from the album. Redd and Lil Uzi Vert wrote the song alongside its producers, Flansie and SSerotonin. The song is the first collaboration between the Redd and Lil Uzi Vert; Redd considers Lil Uzi Vert to be one of the greatest rappers from the SoundCloud rap scene. A music video directed by Mooch premiered days after the song's release and contained appearances from David Mazouz and Adin Ross. The video displays multiple uses of LED lights and was filmed in various places, including an arcade.

"Holy Smokes" is a pop-inspired song driven by bitcrushed synthesizers and video game-esque vocal samples. The duo rap about earning considerable amounts of money but recognizing it cannot buy love. With a nonchalant vocal delivery, they also sing about what their money can buy and discuss their lifestyles. The track was positively received by critics; HipHopDX felt it was one of the better tracks on Trip at Knight, while other critics highlighted the song's fun and energetic nature. The song reached number 72 on the Billboard Global 200 and appeared on the national charts of the United States, Canada, and New Zealand; the song received a gold certification in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
