Let's re-write this
Fix the speeling mistake on canceled
"American Girl" is a song by American singer and songwriter Bonnie McKee intended to be the lead single off her canceled second studio album. Epic Records first released it to McKee's SoundCloud on June 25, 2013. The song was written by McKee, Josh Abraham, Jon Asher, Alex Drury, Oliver Goldstein and Jacknife Lee. The song has been described as a dance-pop and electropop track. Its lyrics address McKee's childhood and teenagehood from an American perspective.
Replaced song with track in the 4th sentence to avoid repetition. Sebbirrrr (talk) 19:21, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
You get track two times in a row, try single MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:17, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
My bad, forgot it was at the end of the sentence. Replaced with "single". Sebbirrrr (talk) 13:15, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Who directed the first Music video?
Couldn't find any information on that unfortunately. The closest thing to that is the fact that she invited her "famous friends" to appear in the video via video-conference technology (per https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2013/06/katy-perry-pajamas-american-girl) Sebbirrrr (talk) 19:21, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
No, but you can use it for the reception of the MV MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:17, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
