Westrich played synthesizers and sang on ''[[Return of the Rentals]].'' In [[Glorious Noise interview with Cherielynn Westrich - 2001|an interview with ''Glorious Noise'']] in [[2001]], Westrich claimed that [[Matt Sharp]] initially asked her to pretend to be in the band to meet with record executives before eventually being asked to sing on he album. Westrich also criticized Sharp for taking most of the credit for the album. Westrich wrote the lyrics and melody to the song "[[My Summer Girl]]" (a reworking of an earlier Rentals demo, "[[I Don't Love This, Babe]]") but did not receive official credit for it on the album's packaging, claiming that Sharp also received all songwriting royalties. Matt Sharp commented on this later in [[Overlee.com interview with Matt Sharp - July 14, 2003|an interview]], claiming that Westrich always had official publishing credit, stating "I was really trying to make the credits and the layout really clean and precise and not full with thank-you’s and all sorts of things, which was a mistake on my part", adding "In no way did I ever mean to hurt her, I was just a dumb kid who over looked something because I was so concerned with not having anything in the credits." Sharp subsequently credited her on the band's official website[https://web.archive.org/web/20061112172550/http://www.therentals.com/return/history/bios/cherie.html] and mentioned her contribution during live performances of the song.
