On the soundtrack and in the film, this song follows “Ramona”, a song written by the character of Scott Pilgrim for his girlfriend, Ramona. It’s a very short song, consisting only of the chorus to this song. Unimpressed, Ramona says she “can’t wait to hear when it’s finished” to which Scott responds “Finished?” signifying that the song is, to his mind, complete.

In counterpoint to that, this song is Beck’s interpretation of the song Scott perhaps would have written if he had the musical and lyrical skill to express himself properly. In other words, this song is that song “finished”.
