According to Rivers Cuomo in 2017:

This is a song I wrote for The White Album. Somehow we couldn’t pull it together, couldn’t quite figure it out. I think there were still a few lyric tweaks still to be done. I feel a lot of gratitude to Jake Sinclair who produced The White Album. He really pushed me on this song to make it as good as it could be, but now it’s on this album and he doesn’t get a credit because we have a different producer! But anyway, he was instrumental in making this song.

On one extreme you have a song like this one actually where it’s all about two or three experiences with this one woman, but each verse is very literal. ‘This is what happened, this is what went down.’ And then on the other extreme there’s a song like ‘Feels Like Summer’ where every line is taken from a different source and a different experience and I’m just piecing it together to create a story about something that never actually happened.
