Who owns the copyright to the Star Spangled Banner?

Updated: 8/18/2023

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.
