"American Teenager" is the second track and also the third and final single of Ethel Cain's debut album, "Preacher's Daughter". The song was released on April 21, 2022. Ethel said of the song in a statement with Pitchfork: “Growing up I was surrounded by visions of NASCAR, rock’n’roll, and being the one who would change everything,” Cain said in a statement. “They make you think it’s all achievable and that if nothing else, you should at least die trying. What they don’t tell you is that you need your neighbor more than your country needs you. I wrote this song as an expression of my frustration with all the things the ‘American Teenager’ is supposed to be but never had any real chance of becoming.”
