A song called "Weekend Girl" was demoed for [[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]] but went unused. | "Weekend Woman" is a reworking of the [[The Green Album|Green Album]]-era [[Rivers Cuomo]] demo "[[Burning Sun]]". A song called "Weekend Girl" was demoed for ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'' but, ultimately, went unused. It is believed that [[Ric Ocasek]], who produced both ''The Green Album'' and ''EWBAITE'', asked Cuomo to revisit some of his ''Green''-era compositions for inclusion on ''EWBAITE'', and that "Burning Sun" was one such song (the song "[[Lonely Girl]]" from ''EWBAITE'' is also speculated to have originated during the ''Green'' sessions, possibly under the title "Homely"). In an [https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2017/10/27/560044425/how-weezer-traded-power-chords-for-pop October 2017 interview with NPR], Cuomo said that the lyrics are not about anyone specific; they are lines from different sources but were connected in a way that suggests a story about a single relationship. [[Rivers]] also stated that he was trying to not use the word "girl" as much in his songs (the word does not appear at all on ''Pacific Daydream''). This is, presumably, the reason for the change from "Weekend Girl" to "Weekend Woman." | ||

On [[July 14]], [[2017]], a Reddit user under the name "lookin4roadkillz" posted a thread on the r/Weezer subreddit asking "anyone know where this come from?" with a link to an alternate mix of the track. The mix is not known to have previously been in circulation and the circumstances of the leak are unknown. | |||
