{{Featured song artwork|Unofficial ss2k art.jpg|O Girl}} "'''O Girl'''" is a song from [[Summer Songs of 2000]] and an early contender for [[The Green Album]].
{{Featured song artwork|Weezer Island in the Sun cover CD.jpg|Always}} "'''Always'''" is a song by [[Weezer]]. The track was recorded during sessions for ''[[Weezer (The Green Album)|The Green Album]]'' and later issued as a [[List of Weezer b-sides and bonus tracks|b-side]] on various single releases of "[[Island in the Sun]]."


In 2011, in a fan interview on [[Ustream]], [[Brian Bell]] named it as one of his favorite unreleased Weezer tracks. On fansite [[AllThingsWeezer]], [[Pat Wilson]] agreed. In 2015, Cuomo provided his own annotation for the song "[[Do You Wanna Get High?]]" on [https://genius.com/Weezer-do-you-wanna-get-high-lyrics the website Genius.com], wherein he revealed that the song's subject is the same as both "[[O Girlfriend]]" and "O Girl".
"Always" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in December of [[1999]], around the same time as the song "[[Island in the Sun]]." The song is first known to have been revisited at [[Cello Studios]] on [[January 2]], [[2001]], during the recording sessions for ''[[Weezer (The Green Album)|The Green Album]]''.

Two versions of the song were released officially. Due to an apparent oversight, Cuomo accidentally approved the wrong version of the song. This incorrect version, clocking in at 2:05, was released as a b-side for various single releases of "Island in the Sun." In October of 2001, Cuomo located the longer, correct recording of the song and, on [[October 13]], entered the studio with Jack Joseph Puig and mixed the recording. This version appears on the Los Angeles-area radio station charity compilation ''[[Kevin and Bean: Swallow My Eggnog]]'', as well as on [[3 Titres Inédits|a promotional single]] exclusive to France.
