On [[April 14]], [[2016]], a [[Weezer Fan Club]] user made a post on the official Facebook group asking Cuomo if he would post more lyric annotations on the website Genius.com<ref>''Facebook'' https://www.facebook.com/groups/weezerfanclub/permalink/622730287876161/</ref>. In the thread, Cuomo replied "i'd have to go back and look at my notes. i kinda forget everything i work on after a few days. I could tell you tons about BEAUTIFUL LIES or [[Gun It|GUN IT]]!"<ref>[[:File:Rivers beautifullies.png]]</ref> | |||
This song's chorus was later appropriated as the bridge of the [[2017]] ''[[Pacific Daydream]]'' song "[[Weekend Woman]]". Cuomo's original demos were released in [[2020]] and [[2021]], as part of the digital compilations ''[[Alone XII: The White Year]]'' and ''[[Alone XIII: The Pacific Daydream Years]]'', respectively. | |||
