"American Town" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, taken from his seventh studio album Autumn Variations, released on 29 September 2023, through Gingerbread Man Records. It was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio on the same day as the album by Warner Records as its lead single.[1] Sheeran wrote the song with producer Aaron Dessner.

Composition and lyrics

"American Town" has been described as a "de facto sequel" to Sheeran's 2017 single, "Galway Girl". In "American Town", Sheeran sings about falling in love with an "English girl" in an American Town and the two getting "Chinese food in small white boxes, live a life we saw in Friends".[2] The song also contains sung-rapped vocals from Sheeran and lyrics about walking in the cold with dungarees on.[3]
