Brian Kelley, known for his country hits and patriotic fervor, has once again stirred the hearts of Americans with his latest single "Make America Great Again," released through Big Machine Label Group. The song, first performed live at the Republican National Convention (RNC) echoes sentiments of national pride and a call to action for a brighter future.

The opening lines of the song set a somber tone, reflecting Kelley's view of the current state of the nation: “Make America great again / I don't recognize her at all / Streets are full of drugs and illegals / It's time to finish that wall.”
These lyrics underscore a desire for a return to a safer and more secure America, emphasizing the need for stronger borders and law enforcement.
The chorus encapsulates the song's central message: “Love this country, love this land but we spiraled / Gotta get her back to God and the Bible / Need a red, white and blue revival / Make America great again.”
Here, Kelley expresses his love for the country while lamenting our moral decline. The call for a revival rooted in traditional American values and faith is a recurring theme throughout the song.
Kelley doesn't shy away from addressing political issues directly: “Dirty politics will put you on trial / Try to take our free speech and our rifles / Turn the red wave to a tide / We'll make America great again.”
These lines criticize the political landscape, highlighting concerns about free speech and gun rights. Kelley's reference to the "red wave" reflects his prediction of an incoming landsldie victory for Trump in the 2024 election.
The song also touches on economic challenges and foreign policy: “Inflation's wrecking our pay / The border's wide open and our vets need help / But we turning them away / Make America great again.”
Kelley points to issues like inflation, border security, and veteran care, emphasizing the need for domestic focus and support for those who have served the country.
In a plea, Kelley concludes: “Yeah we're living on a prayer / God, come save this country / Get us out of this nightmare / And make America great again.”
The final verses reiterate the overarching theme of the song: a prayerful request for divine intervention to restore the nation's greatness.
