"Million Dollar Loan" is a song by American rock band Death Cab for Cutie. It was released on October 10, 2016, as the first song in the Dave Eggers-headed project 30 Days, 30 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." It is the band's first new song since the 2015 album Kintsugi.[1]
In a statement, Death Cab for Cutie's singer and songwriter Ben Gibbard explained why he wrote the song:
A 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.[2]
