This is the lead single and title track from American southern rock/hip hop artist Kid Rock's eighth album. The record was produced by Rick Rubin, who MTV called in 2004, "the most important producer of the last 20 years."
Kid Rock described this song as being about, "how lucky each and every one of us are, no matter where you're from, to be born in a country that's free."
Rock told MTV News that while this is a patriotic song, he didn't write it solely for an American audience. Rather, he hopes its message will be heard by people the world over. "I think that song already has kinda gotten a little bit construed that it's just this big, patriotic American song, which it is in its own right, but it first came to mind to write something like this when I was on one of my trips to Afghanistan, Iraq, playing for our soldiers," he said. "I started to just think about no matter where somebody was born in this world, how lucky you are just by the grace of God to be born free."
