"Thought I Knew" was written by guitarist [[Brian Bell]]. It began as a demo for his side project [[The Relationship]] and was originally a much more serious, solemn song. It was changed from a minor chord progression to a major chord progression for ''The Red Album'' and made more poppy. | "Thought I Knew" was written by guitarist [[Brian Bell]].

During promotion for ''The Red Album'', Weezer appeared on MTV with live performance 'sessions' recorded exclusively for the channel, and one of the song performed was "Thought I Knew", which had a slightly different feel than the album version. | During promotion for ''The Red Album'', Weezer appeared on MTV with live performance 'sessions' recorded exclusively for the channel, and one of the song performed was "Thought I Knew", which had a slightly different feel than the album version. It was performed with a choreographed square dancing number going on in front of the band. Other tracks performed on that day were "[[Automatic]]," "[[King]]," and "[[Pork and Beans]]." | ||
Since it's release on ''Red'', Bell has written a new version of it, which he performed with The Relationship on their handful of dates opening the [[Troublemaker Tour]]. Brian was very critical in 2008 interviews of the Red Album version saying that he did not want the song on the album, but that Rivers insisted it go on. It is assumed that it will be released on that band's debut album. | Since it's release on ''Red'', Bell has written a new version of it, which he performed with The Relationship on their handful of dates opening the [[Troublemaker Tour]].
