Songfacts®:

  • Donald Trump-supporting rapper Loza Alexander dropped this right-wing rant on October 12, 2021. It finds him dissing Joe Biden, repeatedly telling the President to resign (he expresses it far less politely).
  • Alexander often expresses his politically conservative views in his music. Other song titles of his include "Nancy Pelosi" and "Kamala Harris Diss."
  • So why "Lets Go Brandon"? (There's no apostrophe in "Lets"). The meme comes from an NBC interview with NASCAR racer Brandon Brown following his NASCAR Xfinity Series win at Talladega Superspeedway in Florida on October 2, 2021.

    The reporter, Kelli Stavast, identified a chant of "F--k Joe Biden" by spectators as "Let's go, Brandon" while interviewing Brandon Brown. Republican supporters adopted it as a euphemism that expresses their disgust with Biden.
  • The song debuted at #1 on the iTunes chart and #45 on the Hot 100.
  • Three more rappers, Bryson Gray, Tyson James, and Chandler Crump, released a song titled "Let's Go Brandon" at the same time (this time correctly "apostrophed"). Their version is a more wide-ranging criticism of President Biden than Alexander's, but without the swearing. It also topped the iTunes chart, but because of its anti-vaccine lyrical content, YouTube removed the lyrical video from the platform.
