==Overview== | |||
"Ayleen" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] at his apartment on Sepulveda Boulevard in Los Angeles in [[1999]]. The song was later demoed by Weezer and featured on a demo tape in [[2000]], submitted by the band to Interscope/[[Geffen]] in hopes of receiving approval for a third album<ref>Koch, Karl. ''Karl's Corner''. 7 November 2000. Archived on ''Weezerpedia'' https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Karl%27s_Corner_-_11/07/2000</ref>. The song remained in contention for ''[[The Green Album]]'' during recording sessions at Cuomo's home studio, but was retired by the time the band entered the studio in December of 2000. The song was among hundreds of Cuomo's demos [[Riverscuomo.com_demos#Leak.2Ffirst_wave|leaked online through the demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com]] on [[November 7]], [[2020]]. A few weeks later, on [[November 22]], the song was sold as part of the digital demo compilation ''[[Alone VI: The Black Room]]''. | |||
