The band had few live performances and disbanded less than a year after releasing their self-titled album; still, they gained critical acclaim for that album, which merged the plain-spoken, confessional lyrics of emo and the varying time signatures of math rock with a softer musical sensibility.
Mike Kinsella explained the band's name thus: "My girlfriend had been in Dublin, Ireland visiting her family. One of the things she brought home for me was a flyer for a Chicago Bears exhibition game that said: "Come see American Football, featuring the most overpaid athletes in the world." Something about that statement made me think of rock bands, most of whom are the most overpaid musicians in the world. When I suggested it as a name, the other guys thought it was dumb. Still, for whatever reason, we kept it".
The band regrouped in 2014 for two shows to promote the re-issue of their self-titled album.

American Football Lyrics
Let's just forget
Everything said
Everything we did
Best friends and better halves
Goodbyes
And the autumn night when we realized
We were falling out of love
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)
But we never did
Not to be
Overly dramatic
I just think it's best
'Cause you can't miss what you forget
So let's just pretend
Everything and
Anything between you and me
Was never meant

Let's just forget
Everything said
And everything we did
Best friends and better halves
Goodbyes
And the autumn night
When we realized
We were falling out of love
There were some things
That were said
That weren't meant
But were said
Like we never did
Not to be
Overly
Dramatic
I just think it's best
'Cause you can't miss what you forget
So let's just pretend
Everything and anything
Between you and me
Was never meant

I think what's sad about this song is that the relationship ended in the most natural way: The love just stopped.
Not because of cliches like an affair or something like that.
It ended because it just wasn't meant to be.
"Never Meant".
That makes it more heartbreaking and sad.

[Intro]
We ready?... We- We can keep that one, right?
Ready?
One... two...
One, two, three...
[Verse 1]
Let's just forget everything said
And everything we did
Best friends and better halves
Goodbyes
And the autumn night when we realized
We were falling out of love
[Chorus]
There were some things that were said that weren't meant
There were some things that were said that weren't meant
There were some things that were said that weren't meant
There were some things that were said that weren't meant
There were some things that were said that weren't meant
There were some things that were said that weren't meant
There were some things that were said that weren't meant
There were some things that were said
But we never did
[Verse 2]
Not to be overly (Overly)
Dramatic
I just think it's best
'Cause you can't miss what you forget
So, let's just pretend
Everything and anything
Between you and me
Was never meant
[Outro]
