"Pardon Me" is first known to have been demoed acoustically at [[Rod Cervera]]'s studio on [[June 21]]st, [[2003]] and again on [[August 3]]rd. The song continued to be worked on several times throughout November. The song was included on [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s "A-list" during the album's production around February of [[2004]]. The song was excluded from the final track list until shortly before release, when the songs "[[Average Person]]", "[[Losing My Mind]]", "[[You're the One]]" and "[[Love Is the Answer]]" were excised in favor of "Pardon Me", "[[My Best Friend]]", and "[[The Other Way]]". The mastering for ''[[Make Believe]]'' was finished [[April 6]]th, [[2005]], only a month before the album's release. | "Pardon Me" is first known to have been demoed acoustically at [[Rod Cervera]]'s studio on [[June 21]]st, [[2003]] and again on [[August 3]]rd.

{{Quote|{{Interviewee3|Scott|It’s funny, in the studio it seemed like a lot of chord changes and when we play it live, it really takes on its own, kind of, life form which never ceases to amaze me. To me, it almost seems complicated, but then again it’s so simple and so clear and people really seem to get off on it.}} | {{Quote|{{Interviewee3|Scott|It’s funny, in the studio it seemed like a lot of chord changes and when we play it live, it really takes on its own, kind of, life form which never ceases to amaze me.

{{Interviewee2|Brian|I think this was a song that I fought for at [[Rick Rubin]]’s house. [laughs] ‘Wait, we forgot about this song!’ I remember running out to my car, and grabbed—we must have, 75 to 100 - not even exaggerating - CD’s of demos and B-sides—or what we consider might be B-sides, A-Lists that turn into B-Lists, B-Lists that turn into A-Lists…it gets really confusing and it’s easy to forget about things. But I made everyone listen to it, and I think 3/4ths of the way into the song it comes back around to that one moment..and everything sounds so good at Rick Rubin’s house, because he has this uber-sound-system, and it just was, like, apparent that we had to do it. And I thought it was just an unbelievably sincere message that Rivers was conveying and that - I don’t know if he knew the weight of what he was saying. It was really great.}} | {{Interviewee2|Brian|I think this was a song that I fought for at [[Rick Rubin]]’s house.
