Unlike many other songs from this album, this track does not transition seamlessly from the previous song in the track list, "[[Mirror Image]]". The song references K-pop group Blackpink, [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s daughter [[Mia Cuomo|Mia]], and his mother [[Beverly Shoenberger]]. An early version of the lyric "Everybody stares at the screens" appears in a seemingly unrelated ''[[Weezer (The Black Album)|Black Album]]'' demo called "[[I'm Fucking Lonely as Shit]]". | |||
{{Rivers Cuomo quote|There's a song called "Screens" which addresses all of my anxieties about what we're talking about with people detaching from other humans, and spending all their time connected to screens. I'm so anxious about looking around in my house and seeing, ok, there's one child on that device, there's the other child on that device, and there's my wife over there on that device. Next door, my mom's on that device. I can't help but feel a sense of loss and anxiety about it.|''Apple Music'' interview with Zane Lowe<ref>Lowe, Zane "Weezer: The OK Human Interview."
