音乐录影带
《American Boy》的MV吸引了如约翰˙传奇（John Legend）、T.I、LL·酷杰(LL Cool J)等一系列的明星大腕的友情加盟，并由Syndrome导演。该MV获得了2008年MTV音乐录影带大奖最佳英国录影带的提名。
创作背景
据Estelle本人回忆这首单曲的诞生：“当时所有人在工作室里都无所事事，正互相开着玩笑。John Legend跑过来问我：‘试着写一首遇见一个美国男孩的歌怎么样？’然后我说：‘那真的很简单’——因为我在纽约有很多男性朋友的，况且我真的不想再写一首‘女性的赞美诗’了！再后来有了Kanye West的加入，开始合作时我怀疑他该怎么在舞曲节奏中融入说唱呢？但最后他做到了！
歌词如下：  
Just another one champion sound me and Estelle about to get down who the hottest in the world right now. Just touched down in London town. Bet they give me a pound. Tell them put the money in my hand right now. Tell the promoter we need more seats, we just sold out all the floor seats Estelle: Chorus Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day. Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA. I really want to come kick it with you. You'll be my American Boy. He said Hey Sister. It's really really nice to meet ya. I just met this 5 foot 7 guys who's just my type. I like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking. Don't like his baggy jeans but Ima like what's underneath them. And no I aint been to MIA I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits. First let's see the west end. I'll show you to my bedroom. I'm liking this American Boy. American Boy Chorus Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA. I really want to come kick it with you. You'll be my American Boy, American Boy. Can we get away this weekend. Take me to Broadway. Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Café. Let's go on the subway. Take me to your hood. I neva been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good. Dressed in all your fancy clothes. Sneaker's looking Fresh to Death I'm lovin those Shell Toes. Walkin that walk. Talk that slick talk. I'm likin this American Boy. American Boy. Chorus Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day. Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA. I really want to come kick it with you. You'll be my American Boy Kanye West: Who killin em in the UK. Everybody gonna say you K, reluctantly, because most of this press don't f**k wit me. Estelle once said to me, cool down down don't act a fool now now. I always act a fool oww oww. Aint nothing new now now. He crazy, I know what ya thinkin. Ribena I know what you're drinkin. Rap singer. Chain Blinger. Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinkin. What's you're persona. About this Americana? Am I shallow cuz all my clothes designer. Dressed smart like a London Bloke. Before he speak his suit bespoke. And you thought he was cute before. Look at this P Coat, Tell me he's broke. And I know you're not into all that. I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit. But I still talk that CAAASH. Cuz a lot WAGs want to hear it. And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest. The Pimps at their Gladist. And I know they love it. so to hell with all that rubbish Estelle: Would you be my love, my love. could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine Could you be my love, my love. Would you be my American Boy. American Boy Chorus Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay. I really want to come kick it with you. You'll be my American Boy, American Boy.中文翻译新一轮比赛的枪声刚刚打响我和艾斯特尔即将闪亮登场看看如今谁是这世上最辣的姑娘刚刚降落在伦敦城的机场肯定有人会找我赌上一英镑告诉他们那钱是我囊中之物让主办商多准备点儿座儿一楼的座票早已卖光带我去旅行 总有一天我会出发带我到纽约我想去看LA 我真的想去和你踢踢球 你将是我的美国男孩儿他开口说 嗨 姐姐 见到你我真的真的很高兴 这个五尺七寸的家伙 正是我喜欢的型我喜欢他说话的方式 透露出自信膨胀的性格不喜欢他的拖沓仔裤 挡住了我火热的视线不，我可不去MIA 听说卡利从不下雨 纽约正期待着我的驾临先和我去西区转转 然后见识一下我的香闺我就喜欢这个美国男孩 我的美国男孩儿带我去旅行 总有一天我会出发带我到纽约去看LA 我真想和你一起踢踢球你就是我的美国男孩 我的美国男孩儿这个星期让我们去流浪 带我去百老汇让我们疯狂购物 baby 然后再去喝喝 coffe带上我去蹭地铁 带我去兜风儿我从没去过布鲁克林 我想看看那儿有什么好 穿上你最in的衣服 篮球鞋看上去流行的要命 我就喜欢贝壳头（Adidas的篮球鞋）走自己的路 说自己的话我就喜欢这个美国的男孩儿 我的美国男孩儿带我去旅行 总有一天我会出发带我到纽约去看LA 我真想和你一起踢踢球你就是我的美国男孩 我的美国男孩儿人说英国迷死了多少人大家嘴上都挂着UK 不幸的是我不同意那鬼说法伊丝特拉曾对我说，冷静 冷静 别像个傻瓜 可现在 现在 我一向就是个傻子 那又不是什么新鲜事儿我知道你心里怎么想 他疯了 利宾纳你又喝多了说唱歌手Chain blinger ：眨眼之间就和旁边的女孩儿搭上了话儿你究竟是个什么样儿的人物。 这个美国人是干嘛的相比之下我衣着随便象出自怪服装师之手 这个来自伦敦的家伙穿着讲究不用开口他的衣服表露了他的身价你以前甚至还觉得他挺可爱 看看这个p大衣，告诉我他没破产吧我知道你还不了解情况听着你的歌词儿我感受到了你的灵魂 但我还一个劲儿的说caaash （现金）因为很多太太团不想听到这个词儿 这可乐坏了那些拉皮条的主儿我知道他们就喜欢这个 就让所有这些垃圾货色该怎么着怎么着伊丝特拉： 你愿意成为我的爱人吗，我的爱人 你能不能做我的爱人你愿意成为我的爱人吗，我的爱人 你能不能做我的爱人 愿意成为我的爱人吗，我的爱人你会成为我的美国男孩儿 我的美国男孩儿带我去旅行 总有一天我会出发带我到芝加哥旧金山我真想和你一起踢踢球你就是我的美国男孩 我的美国男孩儿[1]
