Background

On April 19, 2019, Dicky took to Twitter to announce the release of a new song the following week. It was also reported that Justin Bieber would return to music as a guest feature on a new Lil Dicky song. Bieber confirmed the collaboration on Twitter a few days later.

Music video

Co-directed by Nigel Tierney of Emmy-winning studio RYOT, Federico Heller of 3Dar, Oddbot Animation, and Iconic Engine, the music video includes performances by 30 celebrities and singer-songwriters, such as Sia, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Halsey, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brendon Urie, Charlie Puth, Snoop Dogg, Miley Cyrus, among others.

Reception

In a Pitchfork review, Jeremy D. Larson panned "Earth" as a "terrible song" that "sounds less like a charity single and more like a theme to a downmarket Disney clone made explicitly to launder money for an offshore criminal enterprise". Spin magazine included the song in their list of the worst songs of 2019, calling it worse than Dicky's 2018 single "Freaky Friday".
