"Burning Sun" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] at some point [[2000]]. [[Weezer]] recorded demos on [[November 21]] of that year at the band's rehearsal space in [[6145 Rodgerton Dr.|Cuomo's converted garage]].<ref>[[Recording_History_-_Page_12|Weezer Recording History - Page 12]]</ref> A 56-second clip of one of these recordings circulated among fans for several years after it was uploaded by Cuomo as "las_dos.mp3", a sound clip of him performing the [[Wikipedia:Skeeter Davis|Skeeter Davis]] song "[[The End of the World]]" with segments of "Burning Sun" interspersed throughout. Fans edited this file to create separate clips of "Burning Sun" and "The End of the World". | |||
The full version of "Burning Sun" remained highly sought-after for years. It wouldn't be until [[July 4]], [[2014]], however, that the entire track was leaked on the "/mu/" section of the image board [[Wikipedia:4chan|4chan]].<ref>[[:File:Weezerburningsun.png]]</ref> In the post, the anonymous user stated that they'd been sent the track by Cuomo around 2002. | |||
The melody from "Burning Sun" was later reused for the ''[[Pacific Daydream]]'' track, "[[Weekend Woman]]", and was considered for the [[2014]] album ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'' under the title "Weekend Girl". It is believed that [[Ric Ocasek]], who produced both ''The Green Album'' and ''EWBAITE'', asked Cuomo to revisit some of his ''Green''-era compositions for inclusion on ''EWBAITE'', and that "Burning Sun" was one such song (the song "[[Lonely Girl]]" from ''EWBAITE'' also originated during the ''Green'' sessions under the title "[[Homely]]"). | The melody from "Burning Sun" was later reused for the ''[[Pacific Daydream]]'' track, "[[Weekend Woman]]", and was considered for the [[2014]] album ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'' under the title "Weekend Girl".
