estelle
"american boy" was written by estelle, will.i.am, john legend, kanye west, josh lopez, caleb speir and keith harris. it was also produced by will.i.am and recorded over the instrumental of his song "impatient", from his third studio album "songs about girls" (2007). the credits of lopez, speir, and harris were the result of this sampling. in a 2008 interview with pete lewis of "blues & soul", estelle explained how the song came to fruition: "we were just messing about in the studio, joking around. and john (legend) just said to me 'why don't you write a song about meeting an american boy?'. so i was like 'well, that's pretty easy' - because i have a lot of male friends out there in new york. and i unwittingly ended up creating a new ladies' anthem!" although estelle has stated publicly that the "boy" is an amalgam of male friends, it is rumored to be american comedy writer sam means, whom she met at the museum of planes in lyon, france. she also spoke about west's involvement on the song, commenting "kanye basically just brought his own cheeky self to the track, his own sense of humour. at first he was like 'how can you rap over a dance beat?' - and now he's done it!" instrumentation on the track includes drums, keys, synths, and bass; the former were provided by will.i.am while caleb speir provided the latter. will.i.am also co-recorded and co-engineered the song with padriac kerin at the record plant in hollywood, florida as well as hit factory criteria and circle house studios in miami. serge tsai mixed the song and recorded west's rap at platinum sound recording studios in new york city.
