Data Insight
Raditude is the album where Rivers Cuomo most openly embraced outside professional songwriters and hitmaking producers. Butch Walker co-wrote the singles '(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To' and 'The Girl Got Hot,' Dr. Luke co-wrote and produced 'I'm Your Daddy,' and Jermaine Dupri co-wrote 'Can't Stop Partying' (featuring Lil Wayne) and 'Let It All Hang Out.' Jacknife Lee also co-wrote and produced several tracks. The result was Weezer's most pop-oriented and collaboration-heavy record to that point.
