"My Head is in the Sun" is notable for being the only released track co-written by [[Weezer]] frontman [[Rivers Cuomo]] and [[Matt Sharp]]. The story goes that Sharp, having left Weezer to focus more on [[The Rentals]] in 1998, was still in contact with Cuomo at the time. Sharp was working on "My Head is in the Sun" but was "stuck" on it and approached Cuomo for help.
"My Head is in the Sun" is notable for being the only released track co-written by [[Weezer]] frontman [[Rivers Cuomo]] and [[Matt Sharp]]. Sharp commented on the songwriting process in [[buddyhead.com interview with Matt Sharp - Late 1999|an interview with buddyhead.com]] in [[1999]]:
 
<blockquote>{{Interviewer|BH|How did the song "[[My Head Is in the Sun]]" with [[Rivers]] come about?}}
{{Matt|I was living at his house in Boston, and he was out here trying out people to replace me. He came back for a weekend. We sat around and sang songs, played his songs and my songs, other people's songs. I had been stuck on that song for a really long time. I just couldn't figure out how to finish it up, and it had taken me like three years to write that song. It's one of the only ones that took a long time, and I had basically just given up on it all together. So I played it for him and he sort of worked on it with me. It was cool and relaxed. It was the first time we got to truly collaborate on something.}}</blockquote>
