Produced by hitmakers Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat, the track features the following:

Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Halsey, Zac Brown, Brendon Urie, Hailee Steinfeld, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Kevin Hart, Adam Levine,Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, Sia, Miley Cyrus, Lil Jon, Rita Ora, Miguel, Katy Perry, Lil Yachty, Ed Sheeran, Meghan Trainor, Joel Embiid, Tory Lanez, John Legend, Psy, Bad Bunny, Kris Wu, and the Backstreet Boys.

Helping the artist bring his message to the masses is co-director Nigel Tierney (of Emmy-winning content studio RYOT).

Speaking on the release, Lil Dicky said:

“Like a lot of people, I had a vague idea that something bad was happening here on Earth, but I didn’t really realize how insane our climate crisis is and how screwed humanity is about to be.

It’s full-on crazy! If we don’t get our act together now, and change a lot about our fundamental behavior, Earth will become unlivable alarmingly soon. Why did it take me so long to get wind of this? I feel like everybody on the planet should be talking about this 24/7. But that’s not the case. So I wanted to make the most entertaining and epic piece of content possible, to get everyone aware and talking. Because it’s now or never… Let’s save the Earth! We love the Earth!!!!”

Furthermore,  in partnership with the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF), a portion of profits from the song, video, and merch will be allocated to select nonprofits identified by LDF as being on the forefront of implementing solutions to climate change.
