"Thank God for Girls" arrived on October 26, 2015, the first single from Weezer's self-titled 2016 album, and it's the band at their most playfully odd: the song finds room for a cannoli in its first verse, and the lyric video, posted a day ahead of the release, made that pastry its star.
Jake Sinclair produced it, and the writing credits run long, with Rivers Cuomo joined by Bruce and Craig Balzer, Bill Petti and Alex Goose, who also plays the organ; Christopher Wray adds synthesizer and Claudius Mittendorfer mixed it. It's a fidgety, busy track that bursts into a big, crunchy chorus. Alternative radio pounced: after two days it was the most-added song of the week, landing on over double the number of stations that took the runner-up, the 1975's "Love Me".
