"American Cliché" was one of just two singles Filter released from The Amalgamut, the band's third album, which Reprise put out in the summer of 2002. Richard Patrick wrote it alone and sang it, and he produced it with Ben Grosse, who mixed; Geno Lenardo and Rae DiLeo co-produced and helped Patrick record and engineer the track.
The album's luck ran out fast. Where Short Bus and Title of Record had both gone platinum, The Amalgamut stalled before it reached 100,000 copies, partly because Patrick called off its main tour to check into rehab. It was the last Filter album for Lenardo, Frank Cavanagh and Steve Gillis, and the band didn't release another one for six years.
