Cuomo mentioned the song title "I Want a Dog" to users of the website [[Riverchat]] on [[April 15]], [[2021]], indicating that it was planned for the winter-themed segment of Weezer's forthcoming [[2022]] album project, ''[[SZNZ]]''. Cuomo asked users, "I've release{{sic}} [[Piece of the Pie|piece of the pie]], right? Does the verse melody and chords exist on any later weezer album? I want to use it for winter's i want a dog."<ref>Cuomo, Rivers. ''Mister Rivers' Neighborhood''. 15 April 2021. https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Riverchat-iwantadog.jpg</ref> The final song, however, bears no apparent similarities to "[[Piece of the Pie]]." The song's bridge does, however, appropriate a melody previously used in the song "[[Still Dreaming]]," from the film ''[[The Space Between]]''. | Cuomo mentioned the song title "I Want a Dog" to users of the website [[Riverchat]] on [[April 15]], [[2021]], indicating that it was planned for the winter-themed segment of Weezer's forthcoming [[2022]] album project, ''[[SZNZ]]''.
