"Here Comes the Girl" was demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2007]] as part of the demo ''[[Deliverance at Hand!]]'', in contention for Weezer's planned [[Weezer (The Red Album)|sixth album]]. The song went unheard for several years. A book of ''Deliverance at Hand!'' lyrics was obtained by a fan and leaked online in [[2018]]. "Here Comes the Girl" (as well as a variation, "Here Comes the Beard") was first heard by fans when it was released as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone X: The Red-Raditude-Hurley Years]]'' in November of [[2020]]. | "Here Comes the Girl" was demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2007]] as part of the demo ''[[Deliverance at Hand!]]'', in contention for Weezer's planned [[Weezer (The Red Album)|sixth album]]. The song went unheard for several years. A book of ''Deliverance at Hand!'' lyrics was obtained by a fan and leaked online in [[2018]]. Though "Here Comes the Girl" never appeared on a [[Weezer]] album, Cuomo attempted to incorporate the verses into other songs (such as "[[Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori]]" and "[[The Bells in My Head]]") in [[2015]].
