Country icon Toby Keith, a staunch patriot, released a song, “Happy Birthday America,” for the Fourth of July. Amid political divisions, Keith’s lyrics call for unity and reflection on America’s essence. He questions the nation’s current state, with people seemingly disrespecting the red, white, and blue. The song nostalgically praises America’s historical significance, noting its pivotal role in world wars and expressing concern about its current trajectory. Keith underscores the importance of God’s guidance for the nation’s survival. Written during a troubled period in 2020, the lyrics encapsulate Keith’s observation of a nation grappling with internal strife. As he watched Independence Day fireworks, a friend’s remark, “Happy birthday, America… whatever’s left of you,” inspired the song. Keith reflects on the tumultuous times, expressing worry about the erosion of democratic values and the divisive nature of contemporary politics.
