According to Ritter and Wheeler, who were interviewed by MTV, "We just did a track with Rivers [Cuomo] for the new Weezer record! When he asked us to do it, I fell on my knees and cried. We were playing this guy's songs when we were 13 at parties. A few weeks ago, we [went] to his house — so that was cool — sat in a room with three guitars, and just kinda, Ty had a little idea, and we kind of riffed on it. And then we never heard anything. So we're shooting our video for our next single, 'I Wanna,' yesterday, and our A&R guy comes to the shoot with a CD of the finished version, and I was like, 'Oh, so that happened!' And so I shot [Cuomo] an e-mail saying what a privilege it was working with him, and this sounds great, you guys did a great job with the song, you know, stuff like that, and he replied back, and at the end, it said, 'Definitely miss your guitar playing on the final version.' So, I saved that e-mail, and it's probably gonna stay in my star file for quite a while. | According to Ritter and Wheeler, who were interviewed by MTV, "We just did a track with Rivers [Cuomo] for the new Weezer record!

===Band Commentary=== | |||
'''Rivers:''' "Put Me Back Together", that was really fun. I wrote with Tyson and Nick from All American Rejects. They just came over to my house, we just started jamming. It's cool 'cause it sounds actually like a classic Weezer song. Turns out that those guys, when they were starting they're band, they were big Weezer fans, so they brought some of that influence back to me. [http://video.teen.com/music/weezer-liner-notes/] | |||
