‘Home’ was sung by Singaporean musician Kit Chan in 1998 and was co-written and composed with Dick Lee for that year’s National Day Parade. Since the song’s release, it has become arguably the most popular National Day theme song, and has been covered and/or performed at the annual National Day Parade almost every year since.

Tickets to Weezer’s October 11 concert at The Star Theatre in Singapore are still on sale and can be purchased here.

‘Home’ isn’t the first time Rivers Cuomo has covered a country’s native song ahead of a concert. Most recently, he released a cover of Filipino act Aegis’ ‘Halik’ ahead of the band’s now-cancelled headlining performance at Plus63 Festival Manila.

Following the news that Plus63 would be cancelled, Weezer issued an apology to their Filipino fans, writing: “Manila, we’re so sorry Plus63 Festival was cancelled. We tried our best to find a place to do a headline show for you, but unfortunately it didn’t end up working out.”
