- This is the title track and lead single from American country music artist Toby Keith's fourteenth studio album.
- This song was penned by Joe West and Dave Pahanish and was titled "American Life," when it was submitted to Keith. He recalled to Billboard magazine: "They sent it to me to listen to and said 'You're the only guy in the world that could get away with cutting it.' I held it for about a year; it was so different I thought I'd be tired of it. I just left it on my iPod and kept listening to it, and it never got old." Keith added: "I've only ever done, like, four or five songs in 16 albums that I didn't write, and this one sounds like I wrote it."
- Keith told Billboard that the song, "makes fun of all the wackiness that goes on in this country."
