"American Heart" is a song written by Jim Beavers and Jonathan Singleton, and recorded by American country music artist Faith Hill. It was released on September 30, 2012, as the second single from a planned seventh studio album titled Illusion.[1][2][3] However, the album was scrapped, and by 2017, Hill had left her record label. The song was announced on her Twitter account[4] and distributed for airplay the following day.[5] For the Twitter debut, Hill responded to questions hashtagged #askfaith prior to her weekly performance on NBC Sunday Night Football that night.[4][6] Prior to the official release, many local radio stations posted samples of her song or official music video on their websites.[7][8][9]
