Humility (song)

"Humility" is a song by British virtual band Gorillaz, featuring American jazz guitarist George Benson. It was released on May 31, 2018, as the lead single from their sixth studio album, The Now Now.

The song is characterized by its summery, upbeat feel, driven by a simple keyboard melody and Benson's signature guitar riffs. It stands in contrast to the darker, more politically charged themes explored on their previous album, Humanz.

Lyrically, "Humility" touches on themes of self-awareness and the challenges of maintaining composure in a world saturated with ego and ambition. The chorus, with its refrain of "I just want to feel like the way that I do," suggests a desire for genuine connection and emotional honesty.

The music video for "Humility" features the band members (in animated form) roller skating on Venice Beach, California. Actor Jack Black also makes a cameo appearance, playing a giant-sized guitar on the beach. The video's vibrant visuals and lighthearted tone further enhance the song's overall optimistic and feel-good vibe.

The song was well-received by critics and fans, praised for its catchy melody, Benson's instrumental contributions, and its departure from the band's more recent sonic explorations. It has become one of Gorillaz's most popular and recognizable tracks.
