Jamie was written by Rivers Cuomo for [[Jamie Young]], who was the band's lawyer at the time of their signing to [[Geffen]].  The band was extremely grateful for Jamie Young because she cared about the band and made certain that they were treated fairly.  The song was written as a thank you.  Matt Sharp has also written a song for Jamie, which Rivers helped him record called "[[Mrs. Young]]".  Jamie is currently an attorney at the law firm of Ziffren, Brittenham, Branca, Fischer, Gilbert-Lurie, Stiffelman, Cook, Johnson, Lande & Wolf LLP in Los Angeles, California.

The band recorded the song with the intention of it being their first 7".  For some reason, it was never released, leaving ''[[The Blue Album]]'' to be their first-ever release.  Their A&R rep at Geffen, Todd Sullivan, convinced the band (after much cajoling) to submit it for inclusion on the in-house compilation ''[[DGC Rarities, Vol. 1]]''.  This is one of the few officially-released recordings featuring [[Jason Cropper]], before being replaced by [[Brian Bell]].

The song was re-released on various [[Buddy Holly]] singles later that year, and again in 1995 as an acoustic radio session on the [[Say It Ain't So]] single.
