The liner notes of Make Believe credit Rivers Cuomo as the sole writer of the song, yet Brian Bell came up with the dueling guitar solo. All the keyboards on the song were done using a $75 Casio keyboard. The band tried demoing the song with more expensive Moog keyboards, but ended up being most satisfied with the Casio sound.[2]
Cuomo claims "This is Such a Pity" to be his favorite song from Make Believe.[3] Julian Casablancas of The Strokes has also said it is his favorite Weezer song.[4]
