"Say It Ain't So" was also released on [[July 13]], [[1995]] as a radio single, making it the final single released from ''The Blue Album''. Originally, [[Weezer]] lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] had written all of the music and had only the line "Say it ain't so". He made the connection between the line and an experience he had in high school where he came home to find a bottle of alcohol (belonging to his stepfather, [[Stephen Kitts]]) in the refrigerator. Cuomo recalled that around the time his biological father left, he started drinking. He began to fear that Stephen, his step father, would soon leave his mother much the way his father did. | "Say It Ain't So" was also released on [[July 13]], [[1995]] as a radio single, making it the final single released from ''The Blue Album''.

In the song, Cuomo draws parallels between his own drinking and his family falling apart, which is evident in the climax of the bridge section in which Cuomo states, "Like father, step father, the son is drowning in the flood." | In the song, Cuomo draws parallels between his own drinking and his family falling apart, which is evident in the climax of the bridge section in which Cuomo states, "Like father, step father, the son is drowning in the flood." | ||
