Yay! Our I Heart The USA BBQ-worthy playlist


 

Check these out, too...

  • 8 BFF Reads: Characters' friendships you won't want to miss
  • Tune up your summer concert wardrobe with these picks
  • Musical collabs we totally heart
  • It's puppy love with The Last Dogs: Dark Waters
  • Trends we heart: Americana
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…


 

What’s your favorite patriotic song? Blog about it, babes.

Hi! Tomorrow I am going on a plane for 12 hours! To Barcelona! Smile I am super psyched, but 12 hours is a really long time! What ways can I keep entertained on the trip? Also, where I am going, it is a 9 hour time difference that what I am used to.. So when we arrive, it will be 11 PM our time, but morning, THEIR time! What are some tips for adjusting to time differences? Thanks!
I know you might not need to know this, but we are going to Barcelona, and then from Barcelona, we are going on a cruise. Laughing

 

hey! that sounds so fun, congrats on your trip, I know you're going to have a great time and learn so much! Bring a book, music and videogames on the plane. Depending on your plane you might have in flight movies and stuff to entertain you Smile when you get there try to stay awake as long as possible. That will help you adjust to the time difference. bon voyage!

Ok so this is completely off topic, but my dad wants me to become a vegetarian along with the rest of my family because it supposedly makes you healthyer (I know that isn't how u spell it) but I reeeeaaallly love bacon and chicken and stuff but I don't want to disappoint my dad. What do I do? Thanks xoxo

 

hey! that's a tough one! Your dad wants what's best for you but i don't think you should give up meat if you don't want to. compromise with your dad by pointing out that there are a lot of ways to include meat in your diet in healthy ways. In fact the right portion of lean meat in your diet provides many nutrients that it can be hard to get from just veggies.
