 In the [[Recording_History_-_Page_2|Weezer Recording History]], [[Karl Koch]] described the song as such: "''Rivers was starting to explore some new writing style. Not so "giddy", a little more "serious"''".

The song was listed on a spreadsheet Cuomo assembled in the late 2000s titled ''[[The 4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo]]''.
