 ==Overview==
-According to a Billboard.com article [https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7824823/ajr-new-song-sober-up-rivers-cuomo-weezer-the-click], AJR had most of the song written when they contacted [[Rivers Cuomo]] for assistance via a private Twitter conversation:
+AJR had most of the song written when they contacted [[Rivers Cuomo]] for assistance via a private Twitter conversation. "I wrote to him in a private Twitter message saying, ‘We’re seriously big fans — if you ever want to write together or collab, let me know,’" AJR member Ryan Met told ''Billboard'',<ref name="billboard1">Weatherby, Taylor. "AJR Unveils ‘Sober Up’ Collaboration With Their Hero, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo: Premiere" ''Billboard''. 8 June 2017. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7824823/ajr-new-song-sober-up-rivers-cuomo-weezer-the-click</ref> “And he wrote back immediately like, ‘Oh dude I love “Weak," lets jam and write a song together.’" The band sent him the unfinished song "Sober Up," and Cuomo responded that he would sing the bridge.
-<blockquote>''Although Weezer has several years on the sibling trio, it turns out that Cuomo is fan of AJR as well. In fact, he showed his fandom by following Ryan on Twitter without ever having any contact with the guys, which sparked an idea within Ryan. "I wrote to him in a private Twitter message saying, ‘We’re seriously big fans -- if you ever want to write together or collab, let me know,’” he recalls. “And he wrote back immediately like, ‘Oh dude I love “Weak," lets jam and write a song together.’”''
-''AJR happened to have a skeleton of a song titled “Sober Up" at the time that they felt was very Weezer-esque, but weren’t quite sure of what it was. But once this Twitter interaction with Cuomo occurred, it all clicked.''
+In March 2018, "Sober Up" peaked at number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and was the first number one song for AJR. For Rivers Cuomo, "Sober Up" was his first song to reach number one on Billboard's Alternative chart as a solo artist outside of Weezer.<ref>https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8223664/ajr-sober-up-alternative-songs-chart-number-one</ref>
-''"We were a little bit discouraged, and then it was kind of like a godsend that Rivers Cuomo descended upon us and said ‘I will sing the bridge,’” Ryan jokes. “I’m so proud of how it turned out.”''</blockquote>
+The song's bridge is derived from a demo by Cuomo likely titled "My Favorite Color Is You". In October of [[2020]], demo recordings of this song were listed on the [[riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com]]. An alternate edit of the song features Ryan Met providing the vocals for the bridge instead of Cuomo. Cuomo accompanied the band for an appearance on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'',<ref>O'Malley, Maura.
