The song was written by American singer-rapper will.i.am, Estelle and West for Estelle's second album, Shine. Produced by will.i.am, the song uses samples from "Impatient" from his 2007 album Songs About Girls, as well as "& Down" by Boys Noize. Song BPM is 118. "American Boy" was released as the second single from Shine. It was released in the UK, as a download, on March 21, 2008 and physically on March 24, 2008.
The song has been covered and parodied internationally. Sam Sparro performed an acoustic version of the song on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge which was then released as a B-Side to his single 21st Century Life. It was remixed by Busta Rhymes,[1] and spoofed by Nova 100 as "Australian Boy" , "Armenian Boy" by Australian radio hosts Hamish & Andy and "Somerset Boy" by Chris Moyles on BBC Radio 1. House artist Peven Everett released a song and video insulting the featured guest on "American Boy," Kanye West, called "Fake American Boy." And also Canadian Boy, by radio host Mad Dog, with help of Canadian artist Suzie McNeil on Mix 99.9 in Toronto.
For unknown reasons Shine was removed from Itunes U.S. store on Tuesday August 19th, 2008. However note it is still available on the Zune Marketplace
The music video for "American Boy" features guest appearances by John Legend, Kardinal Offishall, Taz Arnold of Sa-Ra, Consequence, Hi-Tek, Ryan Leslie, Brandon Hines, and Terrence J of 106 and Park, among others. It was directed by Syndrome.
