When ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions began, "I Swear It's True" was reconsidered for the album.  Despite being fully recorded in the studio, the song again failed to make the cut.  Months later, it was resurrected when it was decided that it, along with another ''Pinkerton'' outtake, "[[Getting Up and Leaving]]", would appear on the "[[Pink Triangle]]" retail CD single.

These recordings, along with "Pink Triangle", were remixed and added new basslines by [[Scott Riebling]], who filled in for [[Matt Sharp]], who was away working on his new [[The Rentals|Rentals]] album.  However, with the promotion single for "Pink Triangle" not doing well at radio, and ''Pinkerton'' slowly proving a disappointment, the label decided that Pink Triangle's CD single would not see commercial release.

"I Swear It's True" can be heard on the Blue Album Deluxe Edition, as well as Rivers' original home demo, which is circulating online.  The ''Pinkerton'' sessions version remains unreleased, and is considered by many fans to be one of the most desired recordings for release.
