Aaron Lewis's latest single, "Made In China," serves as a robust anthem of American pride in an era of globalization and mass production. As the second single from his upcoming album "The Hill," the track embodies Lewis's unapologetic stance on American identity and craftsmanship.
Written by Lewis himself alongside Bobby Pinson, "Made In China" is produced with a down-to-earth acoustic sound.
The song's opening lines set the tone with conviction:
"I ain't made in China
From all the cheapest parts
I ain't one for driving
Them imported foreign cars"
As the song progresses, Lewis's unapologetic stance becomes increasingly apparent:
"Red-blooded as they come
I'll die for being free
I'm proud of where I'm from"
The song ultimately serves as a defiant affirmation of American identity, rejecting any notion of conformity to foreign influence and globalization that undermines the strength of the American economy. The song is about highlighting the importance of domestic production and the preservation of American manufacturing. Moreover, Lewis's invocation of patriotism and reverence for the American flag further underscores his unwavering commitment to his homeland.
In a recent interview, Lewis shed light on the genesis of the song, stating, "The best songs come from a place of authenticity. This one started as a conversation with friends as we picked up items around the room with ‘Made in China’ stamped on the bottom. And we put pen to paper."
Enjoy the music. The American Beat approves!
