Weezer launched Pacific Daydream with "Feels Like Summer", the album's lead single, which arrived on March 16, 2017, alongside a video that turned the band into cartoons; they played it live for the first time at SXSW the next day.
Critics filed it under pop rock, electropop, dance-pop and even EDM, which tells you how glossy this one gets. Rivers Cuomo wrote it with a room full of collaborators, among them producer Jonny Coffer and co-producer J.R. Rotem, and Tony Maserati mixed it. Cuomo sings lead, with Brian Bell, Scott Shriner and Patrick Wilson behind him on backing vocals. It became a sleeper hit, the band's biggest single since 2008's "Pork and Beans", topping Mediabase's alternative chart, and that summer it played under the Weather Channel's Local on the 8s segments. It turned up on the FIFA 18 soundtrack too.
