Love Story’s fourth single depicts an average young American, his struggles, dreams, problems and wishes.

Adam deconstructed the track, writing:

Yelawolf blends hip-hop with country, which provides us a different perspective on blue-collar life. Many country artists tend to romanticize small town life and blue-collar workers, but there are a few emerging artists who seem to be singing another tune. Yelawolf is one of them. His latest song, “American You,” seems to deconstruct a life of hard labor as well as the middle class who looks down upon them.
