[[Rivers Cuomo]] is first known to have demoed the song, under the title "I'll Love You Every Day", to his phone's recording app on [[March 27]], [[2015]]. This recording, featuring Cuomo singing over acoustic guitar, was released on [[November 23]], [[2020]], as part of the compilation ''[[Alone XII - The White Years]]''. | |||
The song was first heard by fans when it debuted live, as an instrumental, on [[October 18]], [[2017]] at the [[Weezer concert: 10/18/2017 - Brussels, Belgium|Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium]], appearing on the setlist under the title "I'll Love You Every Day". The song was listed at subsequent concerts as "A Ballad for the Fallen Soldier", and was performed for the remainder of the [[Feels Like Summer Tour]] in Europe in October of 2017. The song was performed one additional time the following December in Portland, Oregon. The song was played after "[[Happy Hour]]" at all concerts in which it was played. | |||
During an ''[[List_of_Rivers_Cuomo_video_streams#Island_in_the_Zoom|Island in the Zoom]]'' webinar on [[May 22]], [[2020]], [[Rivers Cuomo]] was asked about the song by a fan, upon which Cuomo performed a short segment of the song on piano while singing the words "I'll love you every day" over the melody. Asked about whether it was intended to be a full-fledged song, Cuomo replied: "I can't remember, but the band [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_Seconds_of_Summer 5 Seconds of Summer] comes to mind. Did they record it, or did I send it to them? I can't remember [...] I know [[Jake Sinclair|Jake]] [Sinclair], the producer of ''[[Weezer (The White Album)|The White Album]]'', really loved it and he ended up producing some of their songs, so I think he may have cut it with them, but I don't know if it ever came out." Cuomo and Sinclair helped to co-write the Sinclair-produced song "[[Why Won't You Love Me]]" for 5SOS, but a studio recording of "I'll Love You Every Day" has not been officially released to date. | |||

<poem>It's always sunny on Sunday afternoons | |||
And we can do whatever you wanna do | |||
'Cause I've been working that overtime | |||
Now I'm looking for peace of mind | |||
I'll love you every day | |||
I'll love you every that the sky is falling down | |||
I'll love you every day | |||
I'll love you every that the world is spinning 'round | |||
I'll wipe the tears from your cheek | |||
And I'll take you by the hand | |||
I'll love you every day | |||
I'll love you every that the sky is falling down</poem> | |||
