Jamie was written by Rivers Cuomo early in March 1993 as a sincere reaction to the help the band was getting from their first attorney, [[Jamie Young]]. Although band lawyers are indeed paid very well, Rivers was experiencing a real feeling of gratitude and safety, which comes out in this track. It wasn't so much a "thank you" as it was an expression of the feelings of confidence and security produced by having a high-powered attorney (after long months of worry).
