The song continued to be rehearsed at S.I.R. and Swing House Studios throughout the following year, and was included on [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s "A-List" of songs during pre-production on ''Make Believe'' throughout [[2004]]. According to Cuomo, "Haunt You Every Day" was an assignment song given to him by producer [[Rick Rubin]]. It is also the first song he claims to have written entirely on piano (though it is unclear if this statement was in regards to an album song, or to all of his songs). | ||
