In an [https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/weezer-the-ok-human-interview/pl.2b67d12686224245ac1bbbbfa7fb4aa8 interview with Zane Lowe on ''Apple Music''], Rivers said: | |||
<blockquote>''“That one was very personal. I think I was in a really good mood and I was feeling like "Wow, Weezer's pretty great. I'm pretty great." I think I must have looked at an email or like a Billboard chart somewhere and got some bad data. There was a number next to my name or Weezer's name that told me, "You know what? You kinda suck, man. You're really not that great." I don't know - we were falling down a chart or something. Immediately, my mood was crushed.''</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote>''I was thinking, if you look, you're always going to find a number that makes you feel bad about yourself. So that's the opening line of the song. You know, obviously, for a musician like myself, that's true. But I think everyone has different scales they may look at to end up feeling bad about themselves. There's always data out there.''</blockquote> | |||

I don't care where we are on the chart. If you start looking, you're going to just look until you find something bad. At least that's how I am. As soon as I start to look, I'm like "oh yeah, the song says 'forget about it.'"”''</blockquote> | |||
