American Heart (song)

It was released on September 30, 2012, as the second single from a planned seventh studio album titled Illusion.

[7][8][9] USA Today critic Elysa Gardner compared it to Dierks Bentley's "Home" when selecting it as the song of the week on October 1, 2012.

[10] Billy Dukes of the country music news website Taste of Country described the song as "a thick production made accessible by the wonder of Hill’s voice", further noting that "her performance rescues the song from drowning in cliches and heavy messages".

Dukes noted that the song is targeting the same older audience that Martina McBride reached with "I'm Gonna Love You Through It".

[12] The video reached the number one position on the GAC countdown in early December.
