Rivers Cuomo moved to Boston, Massachusetts and shifted focus to two separate projects. The band [[Homie]], largely comprised of songs written alongside ''Pinkerton'' and without a consistent lineup of members, played two live shows in Cambridge, MA throughout November 1997. Attempts at recording a Homie album with drummer [[Fred Eltringham]] and bassist [[Drew Parsons]] fell through and the master tapes are believed to have been left behind in the recording studio, abandoned.{{Citation needed}}

Cuomo formed another band around this time titled [[Lovely]] with bassist [[Mikey Welsh]] and drummer [[Zeph Courtney]]. Lovely played two live shows in October 1997, but the band was very short-lived and did not last through the end of the year.<ref>Cuomo, Rivers.

The song is notable for being the last recording to feature all four members of Weezer's 1993 lineup. Brian Bell contributed backing vocals, Patrick Wilson drummed, and Matt Sharp co-produced the song. However, this song was the only release from Homie and the project was retired soon after.{{Citation needed}}
