It was released on October 10, 2016 as the first song in the Dave Eggers-headed project 30 Days, 50 Songs. Like the other songs in the project, the song lyrically takes aim at Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president in the country's 2016 election. The project aimed to release one song every day from October 10 until Election Day, all of which are, according to its website, "written and recorded by musicians for a Trump-free America."[1] It is the band's first new song since the 2015 album Kintsugi.[1] CompositionIn a statement, Death Cab for Cutie's singer and songwriter Ben Gibbard explained why he wrote the song: {{blockquote|Lyrically, 'Million Dollar Loan' deals with a particularly tone deaf moment in Donald Trump's ascent to the Republican nomination. While campaigning in New Hampshire last year, he attempted to cast himself as a self-made man by claiming he built his fortune with just a 'small loan of a million dollars' from his father. Not only has this statement been proven to be wildly untrue, he was so flippant about it. It truly disgusted me. Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unworthy of the honor and responsibility of being President of the United States of America, and in no way, shape or form represents what this country truly stands for. He is beneath us.[2]}}Music videoA music video was also made for the song to coincide with its release, in which a wall is gradually built around Trump. The video was directed by Kyle Cogan of Simian Design.[3][4] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.spin.com/2016/10/death-cab-for-cuties-million-dollar-loan-sure-sounds-like-a-song-about-trump/ | title=Death Cab for Cutie's "Million Dollar Loan" Sure Sounds Like a Song About Trump (Updated) | work=Spin | date=10 October 2016 | accessdate=12 October 2016 | author=Cush, Andy}} {{Death Cab for Cutie}}{{Trump media}}2. ^1 {{cite web | url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/watch-death-cab-for-cuties-anti-trump-million-dollar-loan-w444192 | title=Watch Death Cab for Cutie's Anti-Trump 'Million Dollar Loan' Video | work=Rolling Stone | date=10 October 2016 | accessdate=12 October 2016 | author=Kreps, Daniel}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://pitchfork.com/news/68913-listen-to-death-cab-for-cuties-new-anti-trump-song-million-dollar-loan/ | title=Listen to Death Cab for Cutie's New Anti-Trump Song "Million Dollar Loan" | work=Pitchfork Media | date=10 October 2016 | accessdate=12 October 2016 | author=Strauss, Matthew}} 4. ^{{Citation|last=Death Cab For Cutie|title=Death Cab For Cutie - "Million Dollar Loan" [Official Video]|date=2016-10-10|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE0nOfTA3pY|accessdate=2016-10-23}} 7 : 2016 songs|2016 United States presidential election in popular culture|Death Cab for Cutie songs|Protest songs|Songs about Donald Trump|Songs written by Ben Gibbard|Works about Donald Trump |
