"Losing My Mind" is derived from the [[2000]] track "[[My Brain Is Working Overtime]]". The chord progression is the same, and some of the "call and response" vocals of the chorus are similar, but the two songs are otherwise drastically different.
"Losing My Mind" is a reworking of the song "[[My Brain Is Working Overtime]]", originally demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and performed live by Weezer in [[2000]]. The songs share a chord progression and some of the "call and response" vocals of the chorus are similar, but the two songs are otherwise different. "My Brain" was demoed again in [[2004]], eventually being re-titled "Do You Really Want Me Down?" in May of 2004, and re-titled again as "Losing My Mind" by June of that year.
 
Despite its age, a revised version of "My Brain Is Working Overtime" came back into consideration by Rivers on [[May 3]], [[2004]], a demo entitled "Do You Really Want Me Down?" By [[July 7]], while still demoing and refining songs by himself, the song had evolved into some form of "Losing My Mind".
