"American Town" has been described as a "de facto sequel" to Sheeran's 2017 single, "Galway Girl". In "American Town", Sheeran sings about falling in love with an "English girl" in an American Town and the two getting "Chinese food in small white boxes, live a life we saw in Friends".[2] The song also contains sung-rapped vocals from Sheeran and lyrics about walking in the cold with dungarees on.[3]
