==Overview== | |||
The liner notes for ''Everything Will Be Alright in the End'' groups songs by one of three themes. "Ain't Got Nobody" is grouped under the category "Belladonna" (songs about Cuomo's relationships with women). The spoken audio at the beginning of the song seems to present the song as the "first big hit" of the fictional band [[The Astronauts]] (a stand-in for Weezer themselves, who are represented in the album's promotional materials and meta-narrative). A small excerpt of the song (alongside an excerpt of the song "[[Flight Plans]]") was first heard in a promotional video (teaser #1) uploaded to [[Weezer]]'s YouTube channel on [[March 19]], [[2014]]. A longer excerpt, featuring the title of the song first appeared in another YouTube video (teaser #8) uploaded on [[June 4]]th: | |||
