Lil Dicky ‘Earth’ lyrics: Who sings each line in the star-studded charity single?
Last week viral rapper Lil Dicky started teasing a new song and video and since then he has revealed that it's a Justin Bieber collaboration called 'Earth'. Lil Dicky has since confirmed that 'Earth' is an all-star charity single, in support of The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which seeks to raise awareness about climate change. 'Earth' features celebrities including the likes of Ariana Grande, Halsey and Brendon Urie. Oh, and they all play different animals in the video.
Which celebrities are in the 'Earth' video and which animals are they?
Speaking about the track on Ellen, Lil Dicky teased: "Yeah so I'm putting out a song tonight called 'Earth' and it's literally got 30 of the biggest artists in the world on it. And every artist plays a different animal and sings." Incredible. He then went on to add: "Like Justin Bieber's a baboon, Ariana Grande's a zebra, Ed Sheeran's a koala bear and it's all about saving the Earth. There's an environmental crisis going on right now."
Talking about climate change, Lil Dicky added: "Honestly when I started making this song I didn't really know the details. We have 12 years to completely change the way we do so many things on Earth or the damage is irreversible." He also revealed that "within our lifetime, crazy things are gonna happen: floods, food shortages, bad air. Very soon." You can find out more via The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation website.

Discussing working with Leonardo and exactly where the money the single raises will be going, Lil Dicky said: "He is gonna consult with me and his foundation are gonna explain where they think the money is best served. That guy cares so much about the planet." Lil Dicky then shared a 20 second snippet of the video which features all of the celebrities involved as animated animals.
The video opens with Justin Bieber singing in cartoon baboon form: "Hi. I'm a baboon. I'm like a man, just less advanced and my anus is huge." Yes Justin sings about his anus on a charity single.
