The [[Alternative Press interview with Weezer - May 2005|May 2005 Alternative Press article]], noting that it was still unclear what songs will make the final cut, described the song with, "Weezer's cover version of this song is at least five times more dramatic than Toni Braxton's and ten times as loaded with prom-rock guitar solos." Despite not making the album, the recording history notes that the song was considered for an unnamed movie soundtrack at one point. Part of the reason for the song's lack of release is thought to be opposition from various members of the band. The song's almost-release on multiple occasions made it one of the band's most-wanted recordings for a number of years. | The [[Alternative Press interview with Weezer - May 2005|May 2005 Alternative Press article]], noting that it was still unclear what songs will make the final cut, described the song with, "Weezer's cover version of this song is at least five times more dramatic than Toni Braxton's and ten times as loaded with prom-rock guitar solos."

<blockquote>“No. I loved that song. It was actually Rick Rubin’s suggestion. We both loved that song and we both thought it would be great for Weezer, and for my voice, and it’d be great to do like a rock version of it with more of an alternative aesthetic. And you know, just the way I would sing it versus in the way Toni Braxton would sing it. And I love the way it came out, and I think probably the rest of the band really does not like it, and that’s probably why it didn’t make our fifth record, in 2005 when we were recording it.”</blockquote> | <blockquote>“No. I loved that song.
