Looking for a patriotic playlist to listen to while grilling out this July 4? While there are plenty of great songs about our country, we’ve rounded up some of the best to blast on Independence Day. So sip on some lemonade, munch in to that fresh fruit salad and show off your patriotism with these songs below!

 

“Independence Day” – Martina McBride

We just love how the country singer belts out this tune, and though the lyrics talk about freedom from an abusive relationship, we can sure sing along celebrating our own independence from whatever is holding us back.

 

“Born in the USA” – Bruce Springsteen

The “Boss” sings about being a Vietnam vet and the struggles he faced during and after the war. But the catchy chorus still shows us, regardless of everything, being born in the USA is enough to make you love the country.

 

“God Bless America” – LeAnn Rimes

A classic for sure, we love how this tune reminds us to be grateful for our country and “swear allegiance to a land that’s free!”

 

“R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.” – John Mellencamp

The repetitive beat and rockin’ attitude of this song makes it perf for listening to at a 4th of July party!

 

“America” – Neil Diamond

Who doesn’t love some Neil Diamond? This song talks about how America is known for its freedom, which is everyone’s dream.

 

“God Bless the USA” – Lee Greenwood

This is a powerful song with a pretty guitar melody. It will totally make you proud to be an American.

 

“America, the Beautiful” – Ray Charles, Alicia Keys

We love this version of a classic about brotherhood, freedom and the pure beauty of our country.

 

“Star-Spangled Banner” – Whitney Houston

It’s hard to listen to this song and not put your hand over your heart and salute our flag. Wave those banners in pride, girlies!

 

“American Boy” – Estelle feat. Kanye West

Estelle talks about New York, LA, Chicago and California—all popular and amazing places in the USA! Plus, we like the little Kanye that gets thrown in there, too!

 

Play our full “I Heart the USA” playlist below…
