"Prodigy Lover" was first recorded by Weezer in [[2002]] during [[Album 5 Demos|early sessions for the band's planned fifth album]], begun before ''[[Maladroit]]'' had even been released. Though the song did not appear on the eventual fifth album, ''[[Make Believe]]'', it was revisited multiple times in various forms throughout the following years of the album's production. During sessions [[Acoustic Office Demos|at the band's rented office space]] in [[2003]], it was renamed "'''Kings of Money'''," before being reworked into the song "'''[[Show Me Who You Are]]'''," followed by "'''[[Happy Robot]]'''" (or "'''Stupid Robot'''"), and finally "[[I'm a Robot]]." "Show Me Who You Are" and "Happy Robot"/"Stupid Robot" would not see release until they were leaked in 2020 through the [[riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com]] (and released shortly thereafter as part of the bundle ''[[Alone IX: The Make Believe Years]]''). "I'm a Robot" was released on the [[2010]] compilation ''[[Death to False Metal]]'', an album comprised of previously-unreleased songs from throughout the band's career.
