Troublemaker was written originally in [[2006]]. When the label suggested to Weezer to include more commercial material to speed up the album, the band went back to work on the "Troublemaker" demo. Despite this, the song is listed as the second most recent entry on Rivers' latest songwriting chart. Rivers' inspiration for the line "Keep it on the up" came from his friend and former band mate [[Kevin Ridel]] of [[Avant Garde]] and [[AM Radio]]. Ridel has stated "Rivers sure has made my catch phrase popular!" Troublemaker is notably repetitive, with a guitar riff and drum beat that play unchanged throughout almost the entire song. | "Troublemaker" was reportedly written originally in [[2006]].
