In a video for MTV, Cuomo discussed the song, saying "It's one of my favorite songs I ever wrote." He went on to explain that he originally wrote the song for [[Weezer]]'s [[2009]] album [[Raditude]] [http://www.mtv.com/video-clips/wn1ton/weezer-s-rivers-cuomo-gave-adam-lambert-his-favorite-song-pick-u-up], adding "For some reason, Weezer didn't want to record it for ''Raditude''. I was scratching my head, but I figured, 'Oh, maybe it'll end up on the next record.'" Cuomo then described meeting with Adam Lambert, who liked the song and wanted to sing it. Said Cuomo, "He came up with a few ideas for it for himself, took the melody in a different place, suggested some lyric changes, and before you knew it, I was writing a song with Adam Lambert!" Cuomo said of Lambert's voice, "It's exactly the kind of voice that I convince myself I have, on my best day, but of course I'm nowhere near that amazing," | |||
Musician and songwriter [[Greg Wells]] is also a credited writer on the song. Wells would go on to collaborate with Cuomo on the [[2010]] Weezer song "[[Where's My Sex?]]. | |||
Cuomo, with the aid of musician [[Scott Murphy]], rewrote the song in Japanese, and performed it for [[Scott & Rivers|the duo's]] [[スコット と リバース (Scott & Rivers)|eponymous debut album]] in [[2013]]. The pair performed the song at multiple shows in Japan, as well as during the second [[Weezer Cruise]]. | |||
