Make a world that’s fitting for US singer (10)

I believe the answer is:

meadowlark

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'us singer' is the definition.
'meadowlark' can be an answer for 'singer' (meadowlark is a kind of birdanimal). I am unsure of the 'us' bit.

'make a world that's fitting' is the wordplay.
'that's fitting' is an anagram indicator (letters fit or arranged differently).
'make'+'a'+'world'='makeaworld'
'makeaworld' with letters rearranged gives 'MEADOWLARK'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meadowlark that I've seen before include "Songbird" , "Bird" .)
