"Pacific Sunset" was originally written in [[2015]] (or possibly earlier) in contention for Weezer's (''[[Weezer (The White Album)|White Album]]''), alongside a variation titled "Spirit Animal". Demos of the song were released in [[2020]] as part of the compilations ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]'' and ''[[Alone XII: The White Year]]'', though its inclusion in the former may be a mistake, as many of the demos included in ''Alone XII'' precede the demos included in ''Alone XI''. On [[December 10]], [[2020]], the project files for the song, for use with the music software Ableton, were made available as the first "Master Sessions" to be sold on the [[riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com]].

Demos of the song were released in [[2020]] as part of the compilations ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]'' and ''[[Alone XII: The White Year]]'' (though several of the demos included in ''Alone XI'' were recorded ''after'' demos included in ''Alone XII'', due to an apparent oversight).

According to [[Rivers Cuomo]], "Pacific Sunset" was later demoed for the [[Weezer]] album ''[[OK Human]]''. The song was possibly briefly a contender for Weezer's ''[[SZNS]]'' series of EPs, though Cuomo confirmed on [[April 29]], [[2021]] that the song was no longer in contention (but that he was interested in repurposing the song's bridge).<ref>Cuomo, Rivers. ''Mister Rivers' Neighborhood'', 29 April 2021.
