When ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions began, "I Swear It's True" was reconsidered for the album. Despite being fully recorded in the studio, the song again failed to make the cut. Months later, it was resurrected when it was decided that it, along with another ''Pinkerton'' outtake, "[[Getting Up and Leaving]]", would appear on the "[[Pink Triangle]]" retail CD single. These recordings, along with "Pink Triangle", were remixed and given new basslines by [[Scott Riebling]], who filled in for [[Matt Sharp]], who was away working on his new [[The Rentals|Rentals]] album. However, with the promotional single for "Pink Triangle" not doing well at radio, and ''Pinkerton'' slowly proving a disappointment, the label decided that Pink Triangle's CD single would not see commercial release. The tracks were eventually released on [[November 2]], [[2010]] on the Deluxe Edition of ''Pinkerton''. | When ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions began, "I Swear It's True" was reconsidered for the album.

The existence of the recording became known months earlier when Weezer drummer [[Pat Wilson]] alluded to it (alongside a recording of [[You Won't Get With Me Tonight]]) on the [[AllThingsWeezer]] forums, describing them as "crushing versions", a term since adopted by fans. | ||
