The song will eventually be released in physical form as well as on iTunes. For the week of July 26, 2008, it has debuted at #39 on the "Billboard" Hot Modern Rock Tracks charts and is currently at #2 on the chart.

This song was previously considered to be the first single for Weezer's upcoming album "Weezer" [ [http://weezer.com/comments/default.aspx/cid/363/tid/137949 Weezer : 03/11/08 A Message From Rivers and Weezer ] ] , but for unknown reasons "Pork and Beans" was chosen instead.

Rivers Cuomo has stated the song, along with others from "The Red Album" were heavily influenced by rapper Eminem and his "fun way of using rhymes." Fact|date=August 2008

Weezer played an acoustic version of "Troublemaker" on the May 30th, 2008 episode of Alternative Nation on Sirius Radio.

The song was released as a downloadable song for the game "Rock Band" along with "Dreamin'" and "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived."
