==Overview==

Later in 2002, the song was demoed by Weezer during early sessions for the band's planned follow-up to ''[[Maladroit]]'' (which was still yet to be released). The band is first known to have begun recording the song in early April at [[Cello Studios]]. The song is known for its slow tempo and dark, ballad-like tone. Three versions of the song were, ostensibly, shared with fans on [[weezer.com]] but, due to an apparent error, two of these versions ([[June 25]] and [[July 2]]) uploaded were, in fact, identical.
