The idea of a solo project by Rivers Cuomo was thought of as early as December [[1996]]. '''S'kebe''' (also rendered as Sekebe) and '''Incontientia Buttocks''' were among the names considered for a project.<ref name="TPD2011">Cuomo, Rivers. ''[[The Pinkerton Diaries]]''. 2011.

The Homie project began during Weezer's hiatus in late [[1997]], following the release of ''[[Pinkerton]]''. The project was composed of songs Cuomo wrote that he felt weren't right for Weezer, including songs written in his early 20s, songs written concurrently with ''Pinkerton'', and new songs. Commenting on the song "[[American Girls]]" in [[Riverpedia archive - 09/01/2020|a Riverpedia entry]] in [[2020]], Cuomo said, "I wrote it at the same time as I wrote Pinkerton. If a song was lighthearted, I put it in the Homie pile. If it was darkhearted, I put it in the Pinkerton pile. Having both piles allowed me to write whatever I was feeling without having to worry if it was too dark or too light." | The Homie project began during Weezer's hiatus in late [[1997]], following the release of ''[[Pinkerton]]''.
