1 More Hit

Weezer

“1 More Hit” is the seventh track from Weezer’s fifteenth studio album, Van Weezer. The song was first heard when producer Suzy Shinn posted a snippet of the track onto her Instagram story on May 2nd, 2020, with Rivers Cuomo confirming the title later that same day during an Island in the Zoom webinar stream. More was revealed a week later when a pre-release review of Van Weezer was printed by Q Magazine and described the track as “big-riffing” and “an empathetic portrait of a drug-addicted prostitute.”

With the delay of the album from its original date, not much more was heard about the track until its name was featured on the band’s Instagram page on a post with a Rivers Cuomo Funko Pop. However, when this post prompted fans to ask questions, Rivers wrote on his website that “1 More Hit” is “a song not on Weezer’s upcoming 14th studio album, Van Weezer. In talks with a video game.” The song’s cutting indicated that the tracklist for Van Weezer was already changed since early review copies were sent out and that this song might have instead been released as a soundtrack song for an upcoming video game.

However, the tracklist was soon finalized and accidentally leaked on Amazon ahead of its release. This tracklist showed “1 More Hit” would be on the album, and the official Weezer Twitter account later confirmed this to be true in a video showcasing the tracklist.
