"Lonely Girl" is a reworking of a song written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2000]], titled "[[Homely]]." It is not known how significantly different "Lonely Girl" is from "Homely." Following the release of "Lonely Girl" in [[2014]], fans speculated that the song originated during the ''[[Weezer (The Green Album)|Green Album]]''-era based on its song structure. It's possible that [[Ric Ocasek]] (who previously produced ''The Green Album'') suggested revisiting "Homely." The provenance of "Lonely Girl" was confirmed in [[2020]] when a demo titled "[[Follow]]" was released as part of Cuomo's digital demo compilation ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' in [[2020]], wherein an extremely brief snippet of the end of "Homely" can be heard. | "Lonely Girl" is a reworking of a song written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2000]], titled "[[Homely]]."
