Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Bruce Springsteen wrote “Born in the U.S.A.” and released it as a single on October 30, 1984, from his seventh studio album Born in the U.S.A., released June 4, 1984 on Columbia Records. The recording sessions ran from January 1982 through March 1984 at Power Station and Hit Factory in New York, co‑produced by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, Chuck Plotkin and Steven Van Zandt. Musically, “Born in the U.S.A.” combines a churning synthesizer riff, gated reverb drums, and propulsive E Street Band rock dynamics under Bruce Springsteen’s lead vocal, creating an anthemic yet gritty sound. Lyrics contrast upbeat musical tone with a stark portrayal of a disillusioned Vietnam veteran struggling after the war, delivering social critique beneath the patriotic-sounding chorus. The single reached Number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the RPM chart in Canada, while also peaking at number 7 in the UK. Bruce Springsteen’s sharp arrangement and lyrical irony turned “Born in the U.S.A.” into both a massive hit and a misunderstood cultural statement that shaped his public identity.
