Music video[]
The music video for the song premiered on 9 December 2019; it was directed by Karena Evans and shot in three countries: South Africa, Morocco and Ukraine for ubuntu on South African broadcaster Soweto TV. Ubuntu is the Xhosa language and a voice explains: "It means humanity, because we will always need the next, one hand washes the other. "Ubuntu" is helping others, your brothers and sisters, even if you don't know them."
Live performances[]
The song had its world premiere on the 2 November 2019 episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live, which was hosted by Kristen Stewart.[5] The song was also performed live on 27 November 2019 on the Annie Mac Show on BBC Radio 1.
Critical reception[]
Rob Arcand of Spin magazine called the song a return to form, stating that "[i]t's a heartfelt return to the kind of lush balladry that the band built their reputation on, with gorgeous production and performance elements lending weight to the kind of broad, arena-rock universalisms present in the lyrics."[6]
