When ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions began, "I Swear It's True" was reconsidered for the album. Ultimately, the song failed to make the cut. In [[1997]], the song, along with the song "[[Getting Up and Leaving]]," was recorded as a [[List of Weezer B-sides and bonus tracks|B-side]] to a planned "[[Pink Triangle]]" retail CD single. These recordings, along with a new remix of "Pink Triangle," received new basslines by [[Scott Riebling]], who filled in for [[Matt Sharp]], who was unable to attend due to working on [[the Rentals]]' [[Seven More Minutes|sophomore album]]. Ultimately, however, the band's label decided not to service a "Pink Triangle" single. The tracks were eventually released on [[November 2]], [[2010]] as part of the deluxe edition of ''Pinkerton''. | When ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions began, "I Swear It's True" was reconsidered for the album.
