Weezer led off their seventh album, Raditude, with "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To", rushed to American rock radio a week ahead of schedule in August 2009. Rivers Cuomo wrote it with Butch Walker, who also produced, and it's pure sugar-rush power pop, a sheepish, lovestruck plea with a chorus built to be shouted from the back of a school bus.

Rich Costey mixed and Jake Sinclair recorded it, Odette Yustman turned up in the video, and the band gave the song its live debut that same month at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, just days after it hit the airwaves.
