"Haunt You Every Day" is first known to have been demoed at S.I.R. Studios on [[November 19]], [[2002]]. The song continued to be rehearsed at S.I.R. and Swing House Studios throughout the following year, and was included on [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s "A-List" of songs during pre-production on ''Make Believe'' throughout [[2004]]. According to Cuomo, "Haunt You Every Day" was an assignment song given to him by producer [[Rick Rubin]]. It is also the first song he claims to have written entirely on piano (though it is unclear if this statement was in regards to an album song, or to all of his songs). One of the original titles was "Get Away" and the [[2004]] demo leaked on [[November 7]], [[2020]]. | "Haunt You Every Day" is first known to have been demoed at S.I.R.

{{Interviewee2|Brian|I think it’s a beautiful chord progression. It’s deceptively simple too. It sounds a little more complex than it is, and it’s great fun to play live - I wish we would’ve tracked it more, and played it - approached it more how we do now. But I think it came across pretty well. But I think - any regrets, I wish we could re-record that song how we do it right now.}} | {{Interviewee2|Brian|I think it’s a beautiful chord progression.

{{Interviewee3|Scott|It’s another one of those songs where the less bass notes I play on it, the better it works. I remember switching back and forth from trying to do it on piano, or Rivers playing it on guitar, and then going back and back and back, and it turned out to be just right.}} | {{Interviewee3|Scott|It’s another one of those songs where the less bass notes I play on it, the better it works.
