-{{Featured song artwork|Weezer Island in the Sun cover CD.jpg|Always}} "'''Always'''" is a song by [[Weezer]]. The track was recorded during sessions for ''[[Weezer (The Green Album)|The Green Album]]'' and later issued as a [[List of Weezer b-sides and bonus tracks|b-side]] on various single releases of "[[Island in the Sun]]."
+{{Featured song artwork|California-snow-cover.jpg|California Snow}} "'''California Snow'''" is a song by [[Weezer]]. Originally released on [[September 19]], [[2018]] as a single to accompany the film ''[[SPELL]]''. The song appears over the film's credits and in its trailer. The song appeared again in [[2019]] as the final track of ''[[Weezer (The Black Album)]]''.
-"Always" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in December of [[1999]], around the same time as the song "[[Island in the Sun]]." The song is first known to have been revisited at [[Cello Studios]] on [[January 2]], [[2001]], during the recording sessions for ''[[Weezer (The Green Album)|The Green Album]]''.
+[[Rivers Cuomo]] first alluded to the song's existence with a tweet on [[March 11]], [[2017]], in which he simply stated "California Snow verse was cool". On the [[March 24|24th]] of that month he tweeted again: "Got a producer for California Snow". Sometime around September of [[2018]], a cryptic billboard appeared on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles featuring Cuomo as the character Rivers Haskell from what would eventually be revealed to be the film ''[[SPELL]]'', which premiered later that month. The billboard (and accompanying fliers) list the character of Haskell as "qualified to prescribe CALIFORNIA SNOW".
-Two versions of the song were released officially. Due to an apparent oversight, Cuomo accidentally approved the wrong version of the song. This incorrect version, clocking in at 2:05, was released as a b-side for various single releases of "Island in the Sun." In October of 2001, Cuomo located the longer, correct recording of the song and, on [[October 13]], entered the studio with Jack Joseph Puig and mixed the recording. This version appears on the Los Angeles-area radio station charity compilation ''[[Kevin and Bean: Swallow My Eggnog]]'', as well as on [[3 Titres Inédits|a promotional single]] exclusive to France.
+The song received a music video in [[2019]]. The song was debuted live (albeit only partially) during the [[Weezer concert: 07/24/2021|first concert]] of the [[Hella Mega Tour]] on [[July 24]], [[2021]], with one line of the first verse being changed to "Covid can suck my dick" in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo would continue to use this lyric change throughout the tour.
