"Thank God for Girls" first became known to fans when the song title was posted in early October of [[2015]] with a release date of [[October 27]] on the website allaccess.com that listed upcoming music releases. [[Karl Koch]] quickly informed Weezer fanclub members that while new music was being worked on, this release date may not be correct. | |||
Despite this, the song was debuted live on [[October 24]], with the single released on [[October 26]] (a day before the previously posted release date). A lyric video directed by Scantron Films was released on [[October 25]], which prominently features cannolis (as mentioned in the song's first verse). | |||
===Origin and Rivers' annotations=== | |||
Rivers posted a tweet saying "Thank God for girls" in 2010. The song isn't believed to have originated in 2010, however. | |||
Rivers posted annotations for the song on the website genius.com (http://genius.com/Weezer-thank-god-for-girls-lyrics). Rivers describes the song in general with "alright kids, let’s play with some gender stereotypes", notes that the was being worked on in late summer of 2015 ("I got the idea for the “Tennessee” lyric after we shot the “[[Go Away]]” video on Tennessee Ave. in West LA."), mentions the first two lines of the second verse were originally written in [[1997]], and explains the origin and inspiration of several other lines in the song. | |||
===Radio edit=== | |||
An extended 4:12 radio edit exists for the song, slightly modifying the ending of the bridge section which leads into a third chorus not featured on the standard version. Of interest is that this edit makes the song over forty seconds longer, a contrast to most radio edits which serve to shorten a song. | |||
