"We Are All on Drugs" went to radio on July 12, 2005 as the second single from Weezer's Make Believe, and despite the title it isn't really a drug song. Rivers Cuomo, who wrote it alone, has said he was getting at a whole culture hooked on stimulation: the internet, gambling, relationships and, sure, drugs too. Rick Rubin produced, with Chad Bamford and the band adding production, and Rich Costey mixed it into a big, bludgeoning power-pop chant.

The title caused its own headaches. For MTV it became "We Are All in Love", Brian Bell's idea, after Cuomo passed on Patrick Wilson's pitch of "We Are All on Hugs" as too quirky. The video never got the memo: Cuomo sits getting a haircut with a paper whose front page still shouts the original title.
