"You're the One" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]]. It is one of several iterations of [[Catalog O' Riffs]] entry #[[393]] written from [[2002]] to [[2004]]. Cuomo recorded at least one demo of "You're the One" at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios in July of 2004, a few days before Weezer began recording ''[[Make Believe]]'' at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles. The song was one of twelve that Cuomo instinctively felt was right for the album.<ref name="rechist15">[[Recording History - Page 15|Weezer Recording History - Page 15]]</ref> The sessions lasted from [[July 22]] through [[October 22]], [[2004]]. The full-band version of the song featured a much faster tempo than Cuomo's original demo. Ultimately, the song was not used for the album. [[Karl Koch]] later designated the eleven unused songs from the ''Make Believe'' sessions "[[The Fallen Soldiers]]". | |||
Though the full | Though the full-band recording remains unreleased, a short clip of the song is audible on the "Making of Make Believe" Enhanced CD video on copies of ''[[Make Believe]]'' (see [[#Audio|Audio]]). Cuomo's solo demo from July of [[2004]] was one of hundreds of demos [[2020 riverscuomo.com leak|leaked online]] through the [[riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com]] on [[November 7]], [[2020]]. The song was purchased by a user a few days later on [[November 11]], whereupon it was shared freely with fans. The demo was made available for purchase to all on [[November 22]], as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone IX: The Make Believe Years]]''. | ||
