Written by [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Patrick Wilson]] and [[Jason Cropper]], "My Name Is Jonas" is one of only a handful of early Weezer tracks with a co-writing credit. Notably, Cropper came up with the song's fingerpicked intro, which gave him his only songwriting credit on a Weezer song. The song was written during the [[The 50 Song Project|50 song project]], and is one of the earliest collaborations between Cuomo and Wilson. Wilson came up with the instrumentation parts and let Cuomo write the lyrics, melodies and solo. | Written by [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Patrick Wilson]] and [[Jason Cropper]], "My Name Is Jonas" is one of only a handful of early Weezer tracks with a co-writing credit.
