Chugging power chords and rampaging percussion form a rock-solid foundation for the Toronto-based singer/songwriter's socio-political spiel. From the first note DYLYN's got her feet slammed on the gas, and she doesn't let up until you're left breathless and sweating. A bold new side to the artist that gave us synthy pop gems "Mimosa" and "Secret".

"My generation is much more in tune with our emotions and who we are than past generations," says DYLYN of the cut. "Some choose to take a traditional path in life, settle down, get married and have kids, which is cool. But, I always felt as though life was sketched out a little different for me. The 'American Dream' isn't the same as it used to be. There is no age limit, gender, or rules that apply to what we have to do in life. 'American Nightmare' is about setting your own path and playing by your own rules. I don't know what the future holds for me, but for now I'm still figuring out who I am and exploring this crazy path I'm on."
