According to an e-mail sent out on [[October 14]], [[2018]] to members of the [[Weezer Fan Club]], the music video starring Pete Wentz for "[[Can't Knock The Hustle]]" was originally intended for "Midnight" (and Cuomo later confirmed in an interview that it had been intended for the [[2017]] ''[[Pacific Daydream]]'' song "[[Happy Hour]]" before that). The e-mail stated that "Midnight" was planned to be the debut single for the band's then-upcoming ''[[Weezer (The Black Album)|Black Album]]'', before the unexpected success of "[[Rosanna]]" and "[[Africa]]" caused the single's release to be delayed, with the song eventually being scrapped entirely. | According to an e-mail sent out on [[October 14]], [[2018]] to members of the [[Weezer Fan Club]], the music video starring Pete Wentz for "[[Can't Knock The Hustle]]" was originally intended for "Midnight" (and Cuomo later confirmed in an interview that it had been intended for the [[2017]] ''[[Pacific Daydream]]'' song "[[Happy Hour]]" before that).
