{{Short description|Overview of U.S. regional anthems}}{{For|equivalent songs in other countries|List of regional anthems}}

Forty-eight of the fifty [[U.S. state|states in the United State]]s have one or more state songs, a type of [[list of regional anthems|regional anthem]], which are selected by each [[State legislature (United States)|state legislature]] as a symbol (or emblem) of that particular state. Well-known state songs include "[[Yankee Doodle]]", "[[You Are My Sunshine]]", "[[Rocky Top]]", and "[[Home on the Range]]". A number of others are popular standards, including "[[Oklahoma (Rodgers and Hammerstein song)|Oklahoma]]" (from the [[Rodgers and Hammerstein]] musical [[Oklahoma!|of the same name]]), [[Hoagy Carmichael]]'s "[[Georgia on My Mind]]", "[[Tennessee Waltz]]", "[[Missouri Waltz]]", and "[[On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away]]". Many of the others are much less well-known, especially outside the state.

Some U.S. states have more than one official state song, and may refer to some of their official songs by other names; for example, [[Arkansas]] officially has two state songs, plus a state anthem and a state historical song. [[Tennessee]] has the most official state songs, with 14 (including an official bicentennial [[rapping|rap]]).

Two individuals, [[Stephen Foster]] and [[John Denver]], have written or co-written state songs for two different states. Foster wrote the music and lyrics for "[[My Old Kentucky Home]]", adopted by Kentucky in 1928, and "[[Old Folks at Home]]" (better known as "Swanee Ribber" or "Suwannee River"), adopted by Florida in 1935.<ref name="RJo" /> John Denver wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the music for "[[Rocky Mountain High]]", adopted by Colorado in 2007 as one of the state's two official state songs,<ref>{{cite web|title=Official State Song|url=http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/song/co_rocky_mountain_high.htm |access-date=April 16, 2009}}</ref> and co-wrote both lyrics and music for "[[Take Me Home, Country Roads]]", adopted by West Virginia in 2014 as one of four official state songs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/song/co_rocky_mountain_high.htm|title=Colorado State Song Rocky Mountain High composed by John Denver|website=www.netstate.com|access-date=5 April 2018}}</ref> Additionally, [[Woody Guthrie]] wrote or co-wrote two state ''folk songs'' – "[[Roll On, Columbia, Roll On]]" (Washington) and "[[Oklahoma Hills]]" (Oklahoma) – but they have separate status from the official state ''songs'' of both states.

[[New Mexico]] has two state songs in Spanish: "[[Así Es Nuevo México]]" is the official Spanish state song, while "[[New Mexico - Mi Lindo Nuevo Mexico]]" is the state bilingual song.

[[Iowa]]'s "[[The Song of Iowa]]" uses the tune from the song "[[O Tannenbaum]]" as its melody.<ref>[http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-state-song-20160315-story.html "Maryland, my meh song"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613191722/http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-state-song-20160315-story.html |date=2018-06-13 }}, ''[[The Baltimore Sun]]'', Baltimore, 15 March 2016. Retrieved on 05 June 2017.</ref> The same tune is used for "[[Maryland, My Maryland]]" which was Maryland's state song from 1939 to 2021.

[[Arizona]] has a song that was written specifically as a state anthem in 1915, as well as the 1981 country hit "Arizona", which it adopted as the alternate state anthem in 1982.<ref name="RJo" />

In 2021, [[Louisiana]] made "[[You Are My Sunshine]]" their only official state song by removing the less-popular "[[Give Me Louisiana]]". "You Are My Sunshine" is so beloved by Louisiana residents that many of them, including state legislators, were unaware that a second official song existed prior to the proposed removal. "[[Southern Nights (song)|Southern Nights]]" was added at the same time as the removal, but given a new designation as a state cultural song.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Ballard |first=Mark |date=2021-06-09 |title=Did you know 'You Are My Sunshine' isn't Louisiana's only state song?
