Composition [ ]
"America's Sweetheart" is a country pop [1] [2] and country rock song instrumented predominately by the banjo [1] [3] with a beat influenced by electronic dance music .[4] The song's lyrics speak to the idea of nonconformity, with King outlining her unique qualities that conflict with the ideal persona of "America's sweetheart" and asserting that she refuses to change for anyone.[3] [4] King employs a belting technique on the chorus.[1]

King performed "America's Sweetheart" during appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , both airing February 11, 2016.[5] [6]
