This absurdist environmental anthem was released on April 19, 2019 three days before Earth Day. The song is about the dangers that climate change has on our planet and its ecosystems.
Speaking on The Ellen Show, Lil Dicky said though when he started making the song he had a vague idea that something bad was happening here on Earth, but he didn't have the full facts. Now that he does, he hopes the track will change the global discourse on climate change. "We have 12 years to change the way we do so many things on earth, or the damage is irreversible," the rapper said. "And within our lifetime, well within our lifetime, crazy things are gonna happen. Floods, food shortages, bad air, millions of people relocated… It's like… very soon."
"Earth" features a diverse list of 30 guest singers, rappers and other celebrities with many of them taking on the roles of a different animal or plant, starting with Justin Bieber's baboon. Other performers include Ariana Grande, whose zebra is unsure if she's black or white, and Snoop Dogg, who appears as a marijuana plant.
