Lil Dicky then comes alive in animated form as he sings about loving and cherishing the earth. Music stars such as Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande make brief musical appearances as a baboon and zebra, respectively.

Snoop Dogg, Adam Levine, Shawn Mendes, Sia, Miley Cyrus, Lil Jon, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran and many others also make appearances as different characters throughout the video.

Lil Dicky ends things with a message about global warming and joins Leonardo DiCaprio to announce that all proceeds from "Earth" will benefit DiCaprio's pro-environment foundation.
