The song, when it was still called "Always, Forever" and later "The Strong Ones", was demoed several times by [[Rivers Cuomo]] from February to July of 2004 at the S.I.R. rehearsal studio. The final studio version of the song was recorded during the band's second attempt at making ''Make Believe'', at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, CA. The sessions lasted from July 22 to October 22, 2004. It was one of 12 songs that Cuomo asked to band to only concentrate on, which he felt were the right songs for the album. The song features backing vocals by [[Patrick Wilson]], [[Brian Bell]], [[Scott Shriner]] and [[Karl Koch]]. Until early [[2005]], the song was designated to be the second track. Ultimately the song was excluded from the final track list for unknown reasons. | The song, when it was still called "Always, Forever" and later "The Strong Ones", was demoed several times by [[Rivers Cuomo]] from February to July of 2004 at the S.I.R. rehearsal studio.
