“american jesus” is the second single for Nessa Barrett’s upcoming EP, set for release in June 2023. It’s a sultry and unapologetic anthem that showcases the artist’s vocals against a thrumming guitar and pulsing bass.
In the track, Barrett sings about the fantasy of being saved by someone, while giving references to the Bible, Jesus and American symbols.
"It’s about longing and desire. Everyone dreams about a love that’s unhealthy, and I know everyone will be able to relate to this."

The song was performed live on the young forever tour. It was likely recorded or written on December 20, 2022, due to a Tweet posted by Barrett on that date. In another Tweet posted on January 26, 2023, Barrett announced two new song titles, one of them being “american jesus”, and confirmed that they will be singles.
