Now, I love these feel-good summer jams with all my heart. However, I can't help but fear that maybe this won't work out. Not because the song is poor in quality (because it sounds great), but because this whole sound is dying out.
The only reason I say this is because of what happened to Ke$ha. However, I shouldn't cut to the chase so quickly. I will wait until the full studio version to judge. Either way, I know I'll love the song.

I have the same fear, which is why I hope the song has piano in it, or at least some other instrumentation that makes it sound more traditional pop (like her live rendition) than straight up dance pop. We'll see!

she's going to be on this thing! premiere, maybe? also they did a fun little write-up on their website:
Quote:
You may not know her face yet, but you definitely know her work. Bonnie McKee is a singer and songwriter who has co-written songs for an array of A-list pop stars, including Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Ke$ha, Carly Rae Jepsen, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, and Taio Cruz, racking up eight No. 1 singles, including Perry’s “Teenage Dream” and “California Gurls,” Spears’ “Hold It Against Me,” and Cruz’s “Dynamite” — in the process.
Now the girl whom Rolling Stone called 2011’s “Best Secret Weapon” is ready to step out as an artist in her own right with her single “American Girl,” an anthemic pop tune that showcases her powerhouse voice, knack for big choruses, and nostalgia-tinged lyrical point of view. “I really did fall in love in a 7-11 parking lot at 12 years old,” McKee says of the opening line of “American Girl.” “I remember trying to get people to buy us cigarettes and beer and sitting on his skateboard, so I’m describing my own coming of age as a teenage girl in America, and how the whole world was open to me and I could be anything. The song captures that triumphant feeling of seeing what the future holds, doing whatever you want, and making it your own.”

welp, so much for announcing the winner & other surprises this morning 
I'm a firm believer in not giving out dates/times if you can't stick to them.

Bonnie is a bit of a mess when it comes to following through with things apparently.  What a tease.
