Overview
"Living in L.A." went by the title "This Girl" until shortly prior to the album's release. Rivers Cuomo co-wrote the song with Jonny Coffer, who previously co-wrote the Weezer songs "Jacked Up," "Feels Like Summer," and "Get Right." "Living in L.A." was surprise released alongside the Black Album track "High as a Kite", on February 21, 2019 and was debuted live on February 26, 2019 on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The album's liner notes (as well as the song's official YouTube description) feature a verse with lyrics that were changed in the final release.
The bridge for "Living in L.A." was lifted from the 2003 Rivers Cuomo demo "Looking for a Fight."
