Background and composition

"Send Her to Heaven" was written by Tyson Ritter and Rivers Cuomo of Weezer during a writing session between the two frontmen. This marks the second collaboration between the two, after they wrote "Put Me Back Together" for Weezer's Raditude alongside the band's founder and guitarist Nick Wheeler.

All three songs featured on the EP were intended to be released years prior, but due to scheduling conflicts and the bands departure from Interscope Records, they were shelved indefinitely. The original plan was to release them after Sweat. Ritter stated their former label was skeptical to release "DGAF", the intended lead single of their permanently shelved fifth album. Ritter also stated fans can "absolutely" expect another Rejects album in the future. [2] Wheeler also stated in an interview with Alternative Press that fans can expect another album in the future.

Music video

The music video for "Send Her to Heaven" was released simultaneously with the EP on July 16. It stars Cailee Spaeny as Molly. It was directed by Parker Croft, produced by Elisa Croft, co-produced by Aaron Golden and Chris Blim, and executive produced by Ritter and his wife Elena Satine. [4]
