This song was originally written for "Songs from the Black Hole." , along with the songs: "Getchoo," "No Other One and Why Bother? [ Luerssen D., John. "Rivers' Edge: The Weezer Story". ECW Press, 2004, ISBN 1-55022-619-3 p. 105] In the lyrics, Rivers Cuomo rants about groupie sex encounters—reciting his list of partners as he wonders why true love eludes him. Luerssen D., John, 2004 p. 192]
