American Ghetto was created in just 10 days.[7] The album cover features a picture of lead singer John Gourley's dad's barn, coinciding with the hometown theme of the album. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the band said that "It's about places we used to go growing up – it's kind of a fun record in that way."[8]
