"Starlight" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and first known to have been demoed by [[Weezer]] at Cuomo's home studio on [[November 11]], [[2000]]. "Starlight" may have formed the basis for the ''Green Album'' track "[[Knock-down Drag-out]]," as the entry in the [[Catalog O' Riffs]] for the latter lists the alternate title "Slow Starlight". "Starlight" continued to be rehearsed by Weezer through December and was recorded in the studio during the ''Green Album'' sessions in January of [[2001]]. | "Starlight" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and first known to have been demoed by [[Weezer]] at Cuomo's home studio on [[November 11]], [[2000]].

The song was one of the fourteen ''Green'' session tracks leaked prior to the album's release. Like all the other songs from the early MP3 leak, "Starlight" appeared in unmastered and unedited form with a total length of 3:28. The official mix of the song, released as a b-side on various "[[Hash Pipe]]" and "[[Island in the Sun]]" singles, was edited down to 3:20, omitting the "Whoa, that's not enough" section after the final chorus. The longer mix of the song, fully mastered, appeared on a 5-track CD sampler in Germany released by Motor Music GMBH, as well as an Argentinian promotional CD from Universal Music. | The song was one of the fourteen ''Green'' session tracks leaked prior to the album's release.
