"This is America" is a song performed by American country western singer Justin Tranchita and written by Steve Messer.[1][2] Written and released in 2015, the single debuted on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart on November 21, 2015 at number four,[3] and reached number one on that chart the following week.[4] The song rose to prominence after Presidential hopeful Ben Carson used it as his campaign song for his 2016 election bid.[5] Digg.com called the song one of the worst campaign songs in history.[6] Empty Lighthouse magazine[7] and The Guardian newspaper gave more positive reviews to the song.[8] "This is America" was released as a single in November, 2015 and will also be included in Tranchita's freshman country album American Man in 2016.[citation needed] "This is America" returned to the number one spot again in 2016 after spending ten weeks on the Billboard Emerging chart.[9]
