"King" is first known to have been demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2007]]. The song was included in the demo compilation ''[[Deliverance at Hand!]]'', a CD-R that Cuomo presented to his bandmates containing songs in contention for the band's planned [[Weezer (The Red Album)|sixth album]]. The song features bassist [[Scott Shriner]] on vocals. Shriner was encouraged to sing the song after fighting for its inclusion on ''Red'' (where it was ultimately released as a bonus track on deluxe issues of the album). [[Weezer]] performed the song to promote the album on multiple occasions, including the band's "takeover" of the Sirius Radio station Alt Nation, as well as filmed performances for AOL's [[Sessions@AOL (2008)|Sessions@AOL]] and MTV's ''Artist of the Week'' series. "King" was performed on Weezer's [[Troublemaker Tour]] with [[Karl Koch]] on keyboards. | "King" is first known to have been demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2007]].
