This song came about accidentally when the great guitarist Randy Bachman was playing a heavy riff on stage. After he cut the cord, other members joined the group. Fans in the audience who recorded the concert presented it to the band after the show and made it an official song. Lenny Kravitz had another hit in 1995.
"American Woman" was born when guitarist Randy Bachman played a riff during a jam session and singer Burton Cummings sang the first song that came to mind when contemplating the differences between American women and the women of his native Canada.
If the band hadn't realized they were recording internally on a tape recorder, they wouldn't have recreated it in the recording studio. Bachman was plucking strings and tuning his guitar during a show at a curling rink in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, when the riff for "American Woman" came to him. Bachman recalled in 2015: “Everyone turned their heads.
"I said, 'Please play a song.'" The first song Cummings sang was "American Woman." The Guess Who continued working on "American Woman" at their next concert. Cummings, Bachman, bassist Jim Cale and drummer Harry Patterson was added as co-writers. They recorded the song two weeks later and released it as a single in March 1970. At that time, 『American Woman』 became an important statement about the United States and the Vietnam War. According to Cummings:
"It wasn't a political intention, it just happened. "I just realized that American girls grow up faster, wear makeup at a younger age, and are sexually lazy than Canadian girls."
