"I Love American Music" is a song by American swing-ska band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released as the first and only single off their 2013 studio album White Teeth, Black Thoughts. Released digitally on May 20, 2013, "I Love American Music" marked the Daddies' first single since "Diamond Light Boogie" in 2000.

Following the predominant Latin and ska influences of their 2008 album Susquehanna, White Teeth, Black Thoughts marked the first Daddies album since their hit 1997 compilation Zoot Suit Riot to consist entirely of jazz and swing music. As such, "I Love American Music" follows in the jump blues-influenced swing style as much of the album does, punctuated by the Daddies' trademark horn section and utilizing call and response vocalizations in the chorus.

Perry has described "I Love American Music" as being a dedication to the fans and musicians of American roots music, particularly influenced by the figures of Eugene, Oregon's blues scene in the 1980s, such as Robert Cray, Henry Vestine and Curtis Salgado. In a blog post written on the day of the single's release, Perry elaborated "I think what touches me the most in retrospect [about the blues scene] were the kind of minor players who were nonetheless freaking fantastic and for one reason or another never got the notoriety.[...]These guys lived in squalor, in 1 room crash pads, in order to be able to do what they did, while their friends and relations went off to sell insurance, program computers, and generally take a shot at what they felt was the American dream. Unfortunately, this country does not value its cultural heritage, (its real dream) and mostly isn't even aware of its glorious history or the lives of their soulful poets. These poor bastards mostly go to their deaths unknown. Many I was fortunate to call my friends. So I wrote a little song for them".
