==Overview==
"No Other One" was originally written as "There is No Other One" in July of 1994. It was the last song Rivers wrote that would appear on a Weezer album before he became famous.  The song is in 3/4 timing.
"No Other One" was originally written in July of 1994. The song is in 3/4 timing. An early version of the song begins with the line, "My girl's on fire," instead of, "My girl's a liar."
 
Rivers wrote "No Other One" about a hypothetical girlfriend caught in a spiral of drug use. Despite this and her abuse, he doesn't want to leave her due to fear of loneliness. The song also makes a reference to snakes, the first of many animal references in the album's lyrics.


An early version of the song begins with the line, "My girl's on fire," instead of, "My girl's a liar."
Later, in 1995, the song was briefly considered for the abandoned ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'' album concept. In the story's [[Songs from the Black Hole, draft 2|second draft]], the character [[Jonas]] sings about realizing that [[Maria]] is the one he wants after she gives birth to his daughter. The song does not appear on [[Songs_from_the_Black_Hole#Track_List_2|Track List 2]].
 
==As a Black Hole song==
This song was originally intended for the abandoned [[Songs from the Black Hole]] and is therefore likely to be about [[Maria]] and sung from the perspective of [[Jonas]].  After losing his chances with [[Laurel]], Jonas contents himself with having Maria by his side, despite his negative feelings for her. The song does not appear on [[Songs_from_the_Black_Hole#Track_List_2|Track List 2]].
