Interesting facts and trivia about American Girls. By Songfacts®.

This is about an arrogant guy who gets dumped by his girlfriend after taking her for granted. The song was written by lead singer Adam Duritz, who says it is a dark and nasty song, but you won't know that unless you really listen to it. Duritz has said that all of the songs he wrote are about him, and many of them are about the many girls he dated.

Sheryl Crow sang backup. She and Counting Crows shared space on many radio station playlists in the mid-late '90s.

After releasing this, the group spent a week opening for The Who on their US tour.
