'''"Da Vinci"''' is the seventh track and second single from ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. The cover art was created by a fan and was selected from a contest the band held in the [[Weezer Fan Club]]. A notable entry that was not selected featured the lyrics written down and scribbled out with the lyric "I'm at a loss for words" predominantly displayed.  No music video was created for this single. In December 2017, an early version of the song was leaked, along with the rest of the album.
'''"Da Vinci"''' is the seventh track and second single from ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''.
==Overview==
"Da Vinci" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in collaboration with songwriter [[Josh Alexander]], who also co-wrote "[[Lonely Girl]]" from the same album (and who has since co-written several other Weezer songs). A clip from "Da Vinci" was first previewed on [[July 16]], [[2014]] in a [[Everything Will Be Alright in the End - Teasers|teaser video]] uploaded to the band's ''YouTube'' account.<ref>weezer "ewbaite 13 "Da Vinci"" ''YouTube''. 16 July 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgtJeqAqrTk</ref>
 
Cuomo posted a request for single cover artwork (for use by radio stations) on the [[Weezer Fan Club]] Facebook group on [[October 28]], [[2014]]. The final chosen artwork was created by Lauren Burton.<ref>Cuomo, Rivers. "Can anyone whip up some artwork for the DA VINCI single? This won't be commercially available--it's just for the radio stations." ''Facebook''. 28 October 2014. https://www.facebook.com/groups/weezerfanclub/posts/399135896902269/</ref> "Da Vinci" was released as a radio single on [[November 18]], [[2014]]. The radio edit is shortened (3:31 compared to the album's 4:06), and features additional whistling during the song's outro.
 
"Da Vinci" was debuted live during [[Weezer concert: 10/07/2014|Los Angeles, CA|a concert at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood]] for ''Jimmy Kimmel Live''.
 
In December of [[2017]], an early version of the song was leaked, along with the rest of the tracks from the album. This version is mostly identical to the final mix.
