The song was originally put into the "public domain" so there is no copyright on the song itself. HOWEVER people who have recorded the song would own the mechanical and/or publishing rights, so for any specific recording of the song there will be a rightsholder.

Artists may hold copyright to their version of the Star Spangled Banner but the traditional words and music are in the public domain.
