"Traffic and Weather" is the title track of Fountains of Wayne's fourth album, which came out in Japan on March 28, 2007, and everywhere else on April 3 through Virgin. The credit goes jointly to singer Chris Collingwood and bassist Adam Schlesinger. The band had tried jamming out new material with guitarist Jody Porter and drummer Brian Young at Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York, but only "Strapped for Cash" came of it, and they went back to their usual ways.

Schlesinger produced this one and mixed it with engineer John Holbrook, and he plays bass, keyboards and guitar; Collingwood sings lead and adds guitar and banjo, Porter plays guitar and sings alongside Schlesinger, and Young covers drums and percussion. Geoff Sanoff engineered as well.
