In an October 2017 interview for Upset magazine, Rivers explained that the song is about someone he worked with, specifically “having mixed feelings about them as a collaborator, but ultimately realising we’re much better than anything I can do on my own. Owning up to the mistakes I made in that relationship and reaffirming the value I see in that relationship." In an interview for NPR the same month, Rivers explained that ''La Mancha Screwjob'' was originally written for 2014's ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'', but that it didn't fit the theme of the album. He added that the current version was largely unchanged from the one in contention for that album aside from having a newly written bridge and a very different production style. Rivers also noted that the vocal screeches which open and close the track are his voice manipulated in Pro Tools by Butch Walker.
"La Mancha Screwjob" was co-written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and [[Josh Alexander]]. The song may have originally been titled "'''Summer Night'''", based on an entry in the ASCAP database credited to Cuomo and Alexander.
