Weezer fans first heard "Hold Me" as an acoustic demo, posted by Rivers himself. It was one of the last demos Rivers posted for fans. Rivers wrote the song after a period of fasting. Rivers, in 2005, made himself clear in various interviews that he did not suggest drastic measure to create songwriting opportunities because it could not be sustained.
