Even before the release of [[The White Album]] in 2016, [[Rivers Cuomo]] was talking about the next release, which at the time was expected to be The Black Album. He wanted to push in a more darker, more modern-sounding direction in order to contrast with the White Album: “The next album is going to feel like an urban environment, night-time and gritty and hopefully a lot more modern sounds, synthesised sounds, samples maybe."[http://www.upsetmagazine.com/news/read/rivers-cuomo-talks-about-weezers-gritty-black-album/] He also intended to not use White Album producer Jake Sinclair again, claiming that on the White Album "I was the voice that was saying, 'Let's do something radical.' And Jake [Sinclair], our producer, was very much the voice of conservatism, on the side of the old-school fans... He won on [White], and I'm gonna win on the next album, which is the Black Album."[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-ca-ms-rivers-cuomo-20160327-story.html] In an interview at the Grammy Museum, Rivers also mentioned that Sinclair might be "too much" of a weezer fan to accomplish what they were going for. By the end of March, Rivers claimed he was halfway through writing the album[https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2016/03/30/weezer-white-album-rivers-cuomo/82351992/]. | Even before the release of [[The White Album]] in 2016, [[Rivers Cuomo]] was talking about the next release, which at the time was expected to be The Black Album.

Rivers' original title for the album was "Somebody's Daydream," inspired by a piece of Chinese philosophy written by Zhuangzi in which a man has a dream so vivid of a butterfly he is unsure if he is a man dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of a man. It was [[Patrick Wilson]] who suggested the change to "Pacific" rather than "Somebody's." | Rivers' original title for the album was "Somebody's Daydream," inspired by a piece of Chinese philosophy written by Zhuangzi in which a man has a dream so vivid of a butterfly he is unsure if he is a man dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of a man.
