In the spot - titled "It's Beautiful" - "America The Beautiful" starts off being sung in English but is also sung in languages like Hindi, Arabic, and Tagalog. It highlights the multicultural makeup of the U.S. and even features a gay couple.

Twitter blew up with reaction from those who hated it and those who loved it. Some examples:

@runlong01: Super Bowl Coke ad - - I will never drink a Coke product again

The immediate reactions can almost be predicted word-for-word.

Liberals are tossing around words like "perfect" and "amazing" while conservatives are calling it "divisive" and "offensive." Everyone in between either thought it was sweet or worthy of an eye roll.

The commercial, from Wieden + Kennedy, will definitely be talked about after the game.
