Ahead of the release of “Guts”, Olivia Rodrigo revealed that “All American Bitch” is her favorite song on the album¹. Speaking to PopBuzz, she said: “That was the song that we made it and we were like, ‘Oh, ok, maybe this is what the record is’.

So, yeah, I’m really proud of it.”¹ Olivia has revealed that it’s about the pressure to be a perfect all-American girl.
I am light as a feather
I’m as stiff as a board
I pay attention to things that most people ignore
And I’m alright with the movies that make jokes ’bout senseless cruelty
That’s for sure
And I am built like a mother and a total machine
I feel for your every little issue
I know just what you mean
And I make light of the darkness
I’ve got sun in my motherfucking pocket, best believe
Yeah, you know me
Forgive and I forget
I know my age and I act like it
Got what you can’t resist
I’m a perfect all-American—
I am light as a feather
I’m as fresh as the air
Coca-Cola bottles that I only use to curl my hair
I got class and integrity
Just like a goddamn Kennedy
I swear
With love to spare
Forgive and I forget
I know my age and I act like it
Got what you can’t resist
I’m a perfect all-American bitch
With perfect all-American lips
And perfect all-American hips
I know my place, I know my place and this is it
I don’t get angry when I’m pissed
I’m the eternal optimist
I scream inside to deal with it
Like, “Ah”
Like, “Ah” (Let’s fucking go)
All the time
I’m grateful all the time
I’m sexy and I’m kind
I’m pretty when I cry
Oh, all the time
I’m grateful all the time
(Fucking time)
I’m sexy and I’m kind
I’m pretty when I cry
