LYRICS:
This a number one champion sound (yeah)
Yeah, Estelle, we 'bout to get down (get down)
Who the hottest in the world right now? (Uh)
Just touched down in London town (uh)
Bet they give me a pound (uh)
Tell 'em, put the money in my hand right now (yes)
Tell the promoter, we need more seats
We just sold out all the floor seats
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy
He said, "Hey, sister, it's really, really nice to meet ya"
I just met this five-foot-seven guy who's just my type
Like the way he's speakin', his confidence is peakin'
Don't like his baggy jeans, but I might like what's underneath them
And, no, I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's wide awake
First, let's see the West End, I'll show you to my bredrin
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
La, la la, la la, eya
La, la la, la la, eya
La, la la, la la, eya
Will you be my American boy? American boy
Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping, maybe then we'll go to a café
Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
I never been to Brooklyn, and I'd like to see what's good
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers lookin' fresh to death, I'm lovin' those Shell Toes
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy
Tell 'em wah gwan, blud!
Who killin' them in the UK?
Everybody gonna say, "You, K"
Reluctantly, 'cause most of this press don't fuck with me
Estelle once said to me, "Cool down, down
Don't act a fool now, now"
I always act a fool, ow, ow
Ain't nothing new now, now
He crazy, I know what you thinkin'
Ribena, I know what you're drinkin'
Rap singer, chain blinger
Holler at the next chick soon as you're blinkin'
What's your persona about this Americana rhymer?
Am I shallow 'cause all my clothes designer? Uh
Dressed smart like a London bloke (yeah)
Before he speak his suit bespoke (woop)
And you thought he was cute before
Look at this pea coat, tell me he's broke (woo)
And I know you ain't into all that
I heard your lyrics, I feel your spirit
But I still talk that ca-a-ash
'Cause a lotta wags wanna hear it
And I'm feelin' like Mike at his baddest
Like The Pips at their gladdest
And I know they love it
So to hell with all that rubbish
Would you be my love, my love?
Would you be mine?
Would you be my love, my love?
Would you be mine?
Could you be my love, my love? (Ooh)
Would you be my American boy? American boy
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day (ooh, someday)
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay (I wanna see the Bay)
I really want to (you) come kick it with you (ooh-ooh-ooh)
You'll be my American boy, American boy (be my American boy)
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day (I'd like to go some day)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA (see LA)
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
La, la la, la la, eya (la, la)
La, la la, la la, eya (ooh, ooh)
La, la la, la la, eya
Will you be my American boy?

"I just met this 5'7 guy who's just my type"
thank you Estelle for the confidence boost.
Ugh I wish it were as simple as women only liking 6'+ guys, I really wish it were. But coming from someone in the 6'+ club, that just isn't how it works.
Brother find a 6"0 chick that like to wear heels and knock it down
Lol ya I'm only 5 feet tall so I was lucky to not have to worry about height requirements. My husband is only 5'5 which is perfect for me
I'm 5'5 and have found my preferred height range is 5'7-5'10 :)

10 years later and i still don’t see how anyone could hate this song
(Edit: Crazy how I got more likes than dislikes on this video. Lol love to see it)
Ikr!!
Right
there are 2 ways someone can hate this song.
1. it's too catchy. If the chorus got stuck in a doctors they might accidentally give someone a prescription for 'American boy'
2. It remind them of their ex.
*because Tik Tok*

This song sounds nostalgic and modern at the same time it’s a 10/10
only sounds modern because pop has been trying to recreate this sound
Yes exactly my thoughts 😊 new yet nostalgic

This song aged incredibly well.
Yeah dude, I looked this up and was amazed to see "11 years ago", seriously sounds like it could've been released yesterday
The song has that very bedroom-pop sound

*Exactly. There’s literally no POSSIBLE way for an app to ruin a song, it’s a song it’s not like they went on the music video and changed the actual song itself. And this is coming from someone who hates TikTok, y’all need to chill out fr.*
Am from Mexico
@Wry tho? dont jinx it bro😭😭
@Wry tho? It doesn't matter if an app uses it. It's not your song, and you can't say people are bad because they listened to a song first on a app that has 800 million people using it. If you think about it, tik tok has made this song better by making more people listen to it. But I do agree some songs are ruined by tiktok trends, but not necessarily this one.
i cant unhear this
Continues to be a nostalgia bomb of a song.
Thank you for having a 13 year old changing my POV on this song.

Ha probably because it was on American Eagle’s playlist. You can smell all the fragrance.

14 years later its still a bop
Who is still listening in 2024?
Love u both. ❤
Why is no-one talking about John Legend who seems to be only a backup guy in this 2008 music video 😂
I was wondering about that, thought maybe he had something to do with the production of the song or something but... I guess not?
😂😂😂😂 that's what was in my mind too
She had random Celebrities included in the song just cause. I mean its showing different men and he was just included.
pretty sure John legend signed to Kanye’s label back in the day. Kanye produced “Green Light” which came out like a year before this song.
Because he isn't just a video guy. There's a few celebrities in the video. Terrance J was in it too
I can't believe this song was from 2009 and it's booming in 2019 and 2020
yes
This song is form 2008
This song is untemporal. Facts
