"Peace" was demoed as early as November of [[2002]].<ref>[[Recording_History_-_Page_14#11.2F01.2F02_SIR_acoustic_rehearsal|Weezer Recording History - Page 14]].</ref> It was played live [[Weezer concert: 11/03/2002 - Los Angeles, CA|at a secret show in Los Angeles]] that same month. "Peace" also shares an entry in the [[Catalog O' Riffs]] with an earlier demo, "'''[[Hey Domingo!]]'''" (later demoed under the title "'''Don't Let My Heart Down'''"), which features a similar riff and chord progression (which in turn resembles a riff from an earlier song, "[[The Dawn]]"). | "Peace" was demoed as early as November of [[2002]].<ref name="rechist14">[[Recording_History_-_Page_14#11.2F01.2F02_SIR_acoustic_rehearsal|Weezer Recording History - Page 14]].</ref> It was played live [[Weezer concert: 11/03/2002 - Los Angeles, CA|at a secret show in Los Angeles]] that same month.

In a [[May 9]], [[2005]] interview with Y100, [[Rivers Cuomo]] talked about "Peace": "This song was written at a time of no peace with me, when I was at the end of my rope. I felt like life had no meaning anymore. I was going out every night and trying to have fun, but it wasn't giving me any real satisfaction. I just started thinking 'I gotta find a way to bring meaning back in my life and recover my sensitivity and creativity, and I need to find some peace.'"{{citation needed}} | In a [[May 9]], [[2005]] interview with Y100, [[Rivers Cuomo]] talked about "Peace": "This song was written at a time of no peace with me, when I was at the end of my rope.

'''Rivers:''' Yeah, it’s actually not coming from a “hippie” place at all. So people shouldn’t be worried that now I’m Mr. Peace, or whatever. [laughs] If you listen to the lyrics, I’m actually - I was actually in a place of war, not peace, just total inner struggle and decadence. I was just exasperated and longing for some kind of escape from that sort of lifestyle. So the song is actually not coming from a place of peace at all.|Band commentary|<ref>[[Recording History - Page 15|Weezer Recording History - Page 15]].
