Rivers Cuomo composed [[Catalog O' Riffs]] entry 405 in [[2002]], under the title "Don't Give Me Love."<ref name="cor400" /> This initial demo was released (under the title "Oh She Left Me There") in November of [[2022]] as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]''. Another recording from ''Alone VIII'' (labeled "405 pachelbel strum") suggests that the song's chord progression is based on [[Wikipedia:Pachelbel's Canon|Pachelbel's "Canon in D]]," though in a [[2016]] episode of the podcast ''Song Exploder'', Cuomo cited the song "[[Wikipedia:Walk Away Renee|Walk Away Renee]]" by [[Wikipedia:the Left Banke|the Left Banke]] as the origin of the song's chord progression.<ref>''Song Exploder''.

Cuomo revisited "Don't Give Me Love" in [[2014]], possibly in an attempt to find something "more like [[Weezer (The Green Album)|''Green'']]" to appease Atlantic Records A&R manager Maureen Kenny.<ref name="mrn405">[[:File:Mrn-discord-dontgiveitup.png]]</ref> This demo (now titled "Don't Give It Up") was released to fans in [[2021]] as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone XIII: The Pacific Daydream Years]]''. The demo was most likely added to the bundle by mistake, possibly as a result of the presence of a later [[Don't Give It Up (b)|demo with the same title]]. The original "Don't Give It Up" was eventually reworked into the track "[[Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori]]" from {{PN|Weezer}} [[Weezer (The White Album)|eponymous ''White Album'']], released in [[2016]]. | Cuomo revisited "Don't Give Me Love" in [[2014]], possibly in an attempt to find something "more like [[Weezer (The Green Album)|''Green'']]" to appease Atlantic Records A&R manager Maureen Kenny.<ref name="mrn405">[[:File:Mrn-discord-dontgiveitup.png]]</ref> This demo (now titled "Don't Give It Up") was released to fans in [[2021]] as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone XIII: The Pacific Daydream Black Years]]''.
