 ==Overview==
-"The Underdogs" was co-written by [[Kazuhiro Hara]] and [[Weezer]] lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]]. Cuomo had previously recorded a cover of the Kazuhiro Hara-penned song: "[[Meri Kuri]]", released on the Japanese version of ''[[The Red Album]]''. An earlier, slightly different mix of the song was leaked online in [[2017]].
+The lyrics for "The Underdogs" were written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] using music composed by Japanese songwriter [[Kazuhiro Hara]], whose song "[[Meri Kuri]]" had previously been covered by Cuomo for use as a Japanese bonus track on {{PN|Weezer}} self-titled ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)|Red Album]]''. An earlier, slightly different mix of the song was leaked online in [[2017]]. Early instrumental mixes of the song by Hara were mistakenly distributed as part of the digital demo compilation ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]'' in November of [[2020]], before they were subsequently removed.
