[[Neil Young]], Weezer's tour manager from 2000 (not to be confused with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Young the musician of the same name]), is credited as a producer on the song.
It is not definitively known whether "Everybody Go Away" is a solo Rivers Cuomo demo or a full-band demo with Cuomo performing all of the vocals. The song's presence on ''Alone VII'' suggests the former, though [[Karl Koch]] has suggested that it's the latter.<ref>[[Weezerpedia Discord Q&A with Karl Koch - September 2022]]</ref><ref>[[Recording History - Page 12|Weezer Recording History - Page 12]]</ref>
