What it is

"3005" (titled "V. 3005" on the album) is the first single from Childish Gambino's second studio album, Because the Internet, released in October 2013. Although many listeners heard it as a love song, Donald Glover called it existential and said it reflects his fear of being alone. The song deals with loneliness, fear and the search for purpose, set against upbeat, futuristic synths.
