But who really sings it? We&#8217;ve gathered some interesting facts about some of the artists featured in the commercials. Read on for some background on their performances and the reasoning behind their choice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chika\"><\/span>Chika<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A rising star from Alabama, Chika, sings the Facebook commercial song. Her rising popularity has already received her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2021. Her song &#8220;The Best Is Yet to Come&#8221; is an anthem to unapologetically being yourself. In the commercial, she sings about body positivity and embracing who you are. While many people will be moved by this message, she is still a bit too &#8220;polite&#8221; to use Facebook as a platform to make social changes.<\/p>\n<p>The song was created by rising hip-hop star Chika. The commercial features Chika, a rapper from Alabama who has received numerous awards for her music. She is a Grammy nominee, and the song features Carolina Brandao, a model who has modeled for Calvin Klein and acted in the Netflix film &#8220;Project Power.&#8221; Chika&#8217;s song is a mash-up of her previous hits, including &#8220;The Best Is Yet to Come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lizzo\"><\/span>Lizzo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lizzo recently covered The Beatles&#8217; 1969 hit &#8220;All Together Now&#8221; for a new Facebook commercial. The commercial is for Messenger Rooms, a new feature where users can hold group video chats with various sharing and privacy options. The ad, which will run on Facebook during the big game on Sunday, features Lizzo in nude and singing the same line in a higher octave.<\/p>\n<p>The song is meant to help people with limited visibility post photos online. Historically, people of color have been faced with washed-out and too-dark photos. Lizzo has also been featured in a Google ad, which features her new track &#8220;If You Love Me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sampa_Tembo\"><\/span>Sampa Tembo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook has released a new commercial song featuring Zambian rap artist Sampa Tembo. This new track, &#8216;I Love You&#8217;, has reached over 1 billion people on Facebook and is sure to become an instant classic. Originally from Zambia, Sampa has worked across genres and has a resounding talent for putting on a show. Her voice is both catchy and sensual, and she makes the commercial sound fresh and original. While there are many other talented female rappers out there, Sampa Tembo has been making waves in her own right, and she&#8217;s laying it out for people who don&#8217;t know hip-hop.<\/p>\n<p>Sampa Tembo sings the Facebook advertisement song in Zambian. While he&#8217;s probably not the best known name in the world, he has performed in some of the biggest venues in the world. He&#8217;s a multi-award-winning artist who grew up in the country. The rapping sensation has also released a new single called &#8216;Black Dignity,&#8217; a song she co-wrote and performed with Nicole Gumbe.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"King_Jammy\"><\/span>King Jammy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The music that was chosen for the Facebook commercial song is by veteran producer Lloyd &#8220;King Jammy&#8221; James and is a medley of Sleng Teng and &#8220;Hold My Hand.&#8221; The two were influenced by the legendary Dancehall riddim, which was conceived by Wayne Smith and released in 1984. The song was used in Meta&#8217;s first video advertisement, released in November. SL2 and Noel Davy sampled the Sleng Teng riddim and hundreds of other songs have been crafted from it.<\/p>\n<p>The new commercial for Facebook is the latest in a long series of promotional spots. The company, which has changed its name from Facebook to Meta, is promoting a better online experience. Since launching the new social network, the company has been tangled up in a slew of controversies. The company has responded by introducing a new commercial featuring Dancehall music. Regardless of whether you are a fan of the genre or not, you must appreciate the dancehall tunes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Henri_Rousseau\"><\/span>Henri Rousseau<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Henri Rousseau was a self-taught artist who lived in Paris. He was originally from Laval in northwest France and moved to Paris as a young man. While living in the capital, he worked as a customs clerk, earning the nickname &#8220;Le Douanier&#8221;. He eventually earned a scholarship to the French Academy, but after completing the course, decided to focus on painting. In 1885, he was forty-years-old and quit his job and devoted himself to painting.<\/p>\n<p>A recent advert for Facebook features a painting by Henri Rousseau, &#8220;Fight between a Tiger and a Buffalo,&#8221; by the French artist. The ad was released on various social media platforms. The commercial begins with students studying a painting by Henri Rousseau, which then springs to life with the music. After that, clusters of bananas dance to the music, and the ad ends with the Facebook logo and tagline.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mQKTNNTCI8g\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"253\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Sings the Facebook Commercial Song?
