"This Is America" became the 31st song to debut at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming both Gambino's first number one and top ten single in the country. The song's accompanying music video was directed by filmmaker Hiro Murai, a frequent Gambino collaborator. The lyrics and accompanying music video, reflecting the core of the Black Lives Matter movement, confront issues of ongoing systemic racism, including prejudice, racial violence, the ghetto, and law enforcement in the United States, as well as the wider issues of mass shootings and gun violence in the United States.
The song features background vocals from Young Thug alongside fellow American rappers Slim Jxmmi of Rae Sremmurd, BlocBoy JB, Quavo of Migos, and Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage.
Written and produced by Glover and Ludwig Göransson, with additional writing credits going to American rapper Young Thug, it was released on at the same time that Gambino was hosting an episode of Saturday Night Live. " This Is America" is a song by American rapper Donald Glover, under his musical stage name Childish Gambino.
