"Love Is the Answer" was written and recorded by Rivers Cuomo during the ''[[Make Believe]]'' sessions but was not included on the album, making it one of the so-called [[The Fallen Soldiers|Fallen Soldiers]]. In 2009, Cuomo gave several of his demos to [[Sugar Ray]] for possible inclusion on their new album.  They chose and recorded "Love Is the Answer" and it was eventually released on their album "Music for Cougars". A new version of the song was eventually released on Weezer's album ''[[Raditude]]'' in 2009.

[[Allthingsweezer]] boardie Hookshot played the album version of "Love Is The Answer" for an Indian friend, who said that the Indian singers' part was loosley translated as "There will come a day when love is just going to be love.  Love is where life is."
