|imagename=Riverscuomo alonex.jpg|articlelede="'''East Coast or West Coast'''" (also known as "'''East Coast vs. West Coast'''") is a song written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2006]] originally in contention for release on Weezer's [[Weezer (The Red Album)|2008 self-titled album]]. "East Coast or West Coast" was reportedly also in contention for release on their 2014 album ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. However, the song failed to make the cut for either.

Though unheard by fans for many years after its existence became known, various low resolution clips of "East Coast or West Coast" were played over the video chat service Tinychat on [[November 19]], [[2017]]. Two days later, a [[2007]] demo of the song (albeit with an overdub featuring [[Pat Wilson]] on drums from 2012, plus an entirely new bridge from the same year) surfaced. Several recordings of this song from the ''EWBAITE''-era were included on the compilation ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]'' in [[2020]], though many of the versions were removed shortly thereafter (due to featuring members of the band other than Cuomo).

Cuomo would revisit the song a few years later and, over the process of reworking the song between [[2011]] and [[2014]], it gradually morphed into a new song, "[[Up in the Clouds]]."
