Anthem

Anthem is the tenth track and fourth promotional single of Greta Van Fleet's debut studio album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army. On physical copies, is the last track of the album.

Background and release
The song was made based on a poem written by lead singer, Josh Kiszka. On an interview, Jake Kiszka said the track embodies what the album means to the band itself.

On October 5, 2019, the song was released as the album's fourth promotional single, following previous release, Lover, Leaver.

About the song
The song was described as a "subdued, mellow acoustic guitar ballad".

On albums' physical copies it is the final track, and on digital copies is preceded by Lover, Leaver (Taker, Believer).

Critical Reception
MetalSucks enjoyed the song, saying: "As its name would imply, “Anthem” is a simple-yet-heartfelt ballad for the people. There’s no heavy moments, but they aren’t needed; the song is moving in its own rite."

MEAWW praised its technical aspects, saying: "'Anthem' does away with the electric guitars as guitarist Jake Kiszka lays a jangly, mid-tempo riff that sounds straight out of a spaghetti western. His twin and vocalist Josh Kiszka is at the front and center of the acoustic ballad with his signature vocal style, but with fewer high pitched yelps and howls, and more actual singing! Doing the title of the song justice, it ends with a choral rendition of Josh's chorus, and is sure to become Greta's go to singalong stadium anthem."
