In January 2016, when Weezer performed "Perfect Situation" live at the iHeart Radio Theater in Los Angeles, the band was in a transitional phase in their career. Leading up to this performance, Weezer had released their distinguished album "Everything Will Be Alright in the End" in 2014, which marked a return to their classic sound and received positive critical acclaim. In addition to this, the performance was part of promotional activities for their next album "The White Album," which was released later in April 2016. This period was notable as it represented a revitalization of their music style, blending nostalgia with contemporary themes. Furthermore, the event was sponsored by the launch of Guitar Hero Live and the 2016 Honda Civic, showcasing Weezer's continued relevance in both music and pop culture. The single “Thank God for Girls,” released prior to the album, aimed to build excitement for their forthcoming work.
