Boy Unreleased | 2002 \u201cAmerican Boy\u201d is one of Taylor\u2019s numerous unreleased songs. She wrote it alone when she was twelve years old. It is about an American boy and his endless pursuit of the possibly dead American dream. Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme Taylor wrote \u201cAmerican Boy\u201d in 2002, when she was 13 years old It is about a boy (who she probably made up) living the supposed American dream. In the chorus, she mentions a street similar to the one she actually lived on at the time. The song was featured on the 2002 Demo CD as well as the Taylor Swift: Volume Two demo CD issued in 2003. It leaked in the early 2010s, along with the the other songs on her first demos. Interestingly enough, Taylor is a big fan of Tom Petty\u2019s song \u201cAmerican Girl.\u201d She has covered it multiple times throughout her career.
