“all-american bitch” is the pop-rock opening track of Rodrigo’s sophomore album, GUTS, title inspired from the book The White Album, by the American writer Joan Didion. The song explores the contradictions inherent in American culture which places and promotes unattainable ideals for women to achieve rife with double standards.

The emotions explored in the song highlight her feel of misplacement in American culture and society and ultimately how she feels she isn’t doing enough to be this perfect American woman. Olivia asserts confidence in herself throughout the song, but in particular the bridge, where she highlights that she really is perfect.
