The national anthem of the United States is "The Star-Spangled Banner." It was written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 during the War of 1812. Key was inspired to write the lyrics after witnessing the American flag, or "star-spangled banner," still flying over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, following a night of heavy British bombardment. The anthem's lyrics describe the resilience and endurance of the American spirit, symbolized by the flag. The song became the official national anthem in 1931.

The anthem's tune is based on the melody of a popular British song called "To Anacreon in Heaven." It is typically performed at public events, especially sports games, political ceremonies, and patriotic gatherings.
