Speaking on the track, Smith said:

After being slammed in the past for its lack of diverse cultural representation, the Golden Globes bounced back with a vengeance Tuesday night (January 10) – not only boasting a slew of performers of color nabbing major awards but also putting the cherry on top by appointing openly gay, African American comedian Jerrod Carmichael to serve as host.
