A música e seu clipe foram lançados simultaneamente em 5 de maio de 2018, combinando o reveal do single com a performance de Childish Gambino como apresentador de um episódio do Saturday Night Live.
"This Is America" conquistou todos os quatro prêmios para os quais foi indicada na 61ª cerimônia dos Grammy Awards, incluindo Gravação do Ano e Canção do Ano, tornando-se a primeira música de rap a vencer essas duas categorias específicas.
O clipe, dirigido por Hiro Murai e inspirado pelos filmes *City of God* e *Mother!*, alcançou aproximadamente 12,9 milhões de visualizações nas primeiras 24 horas após o lançamento.
A faixa estreou em primeiro lugar na Billboard Hot 100, tornando-se a 31ª música da história da parada a debutar na liderança, impulsionada por 78.000 downloads e 65,3 milhões de streams nos Estados Unidos naquela primeira semana.
No vídeo, Childish Gambino interpreta coreografias baseadas em danças africanas, incluindo o Angolan gyrations, o Ghanaian Azonto, o Nigerian Ashoko e o South African gwara gwara, além de incorporar o movimento "Shoot", popularizado por BlocBoy JB.
A cena inicial em que um guitarrista é atirado serviu como transição da música, marcando a mudança de uma melodia africana inspirada no folclore para um trap escuro e pulsante, enquanto muitos espectadores inicialmente confundiram a vítima com o pai de Trayvon Martin.
