    Lyrics
    I fell in love in a 7/11 parking lot
    Sat on the curb drinking slurpees we mixed with alcohol
    We talked about all our dreams and how we would show 'em all (whoa oh oh oh)
    I told him I got a plan and I'm gonna dominate
    And I don't need any man to be getting in my way
    But if you talk with your hands then we can negotiate (whoa oh oh oh)
    I'll just keep moving my body (yeah,yeah)
    I'm always ready to party (yeah,yeah)
    No I don't listen to mommy (yeah,yeah)
    And I'll never say that I'm sorry
    I am American girl
    Hot blooded and I'm ready to go
    I'm loving taking over the world
    Hot blooded, all American girl (Whoa oh oh oh )
    I was raised by a television
    Every day is a competition
    Put the key in my ignition (Oh-way-oh)

    She came in to the restaurant I worked in 2015 at Universal Studios Hollywood. She was so excited that I recognized her. I was so excited about how excited she was. She stands out with her hair, but there's a zillion women in Hollywood that would make a guy stop in their tracks. So when I asked "Are you Bonnie Mckee!?" her eyes lit up like Christmas.

    This is a really fascinating song. I always viewed it as another Teenage Dream-esque party anthem, but the lyrics are actually more of a critique of American culture rather than the typical vague praising of it.
    It’s also bleakly accurate. Everyone is being raised by TV and competition is at an all time high.

    I cannot believe how many people have missed the point of this song/video entirely. She's just having fun and not taking herself too seriously. This song is a celebration of American culture, but she also included some tongue-in-cheek lyrics taking jabs at some aspects of the culture. You didn't think the lyric "I wanna buy a new heart out of a vending machine" was supposed to be taken seriously, did you? This song is catchy and fun and it's just supposed to make you feel good. It's unfortunate that you sticks in the mud can't just let it be that.

      Unless there was a deeper message, it's unappealing and excessive at the surface. I am happy she found success as a writer, but Bonnie needed her best stuff for herself. This was catchy, but it wasn't a great image.

The stress of school only compared to not being able to go to college because I had to work to pay my bills? Super sucky. Adulthood is beyond stressful; paying for housing, utilities, food, car maintenance/insurance & health insurance (and having to pick a health insurance plan without any help) annnd hoping that your paychecks will be able to cover the expenses due or that the bills you can’t pay don’t have late fees that are super expensive / if you overdraft your bank account that you can repay it before overdraft fees quadruple...

    You know for all the people saying she's so old why she tryna act like she 19, leave her alone. If she wanted to be like this she can, she maybe wanted to feel young. You never know but leave her alone people. If she wants to dress how she dress and feels good in it then let her be. Dang.

    Guys this video was them just having fun, and MOST of you guys are taking to serious for no reason -.- It's sad how some people say "I'm embarrassed to American" over a video.

    Why is everyone so hypercritical these days? Can't someone just have fun and make music without so much judgment? Not to mention most of the judgment is based on looks, age, weight, etc..? The song is produced well, video is also produced well, it's catchy, fun, quirky, aesthetically pleasing. Just chill out, people!
