"Untitled" is a song by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, written by Billy Corgan. It was their final release and recording as a band before their breakup in 2000, and was not played live until the first concert of their 2007 reunion tour. == Background == On November 29, 2000, just prior to the Pumpkins' penultimate show at the United Center in Chicago, Corgan debuted the song by presenting it to Q101 DJ James VanOsdol, saying that it was a "sort of special see-ya-later song".〔Corgan, Billy. Interview with James VanOsdol. Aired live on WKQX. 2000-11-29.〕 Q101 gave away a single copy of the single that was given to them by Corgan. The single featured the artwork of ''Rotten Apples'', their greatest hits album. An official single was issued by Virgin Records in Europe with outtakes from the ''Machina/The Machines of God'' sessions as B-sides. There is only one known official mix of the song released on promotional acetate in the US, known as the 'Pop Mix'.〔(: SPfreaks : )〕 Corgan stated that "Untitled" intentionally sounds more like the earlier Pumpkins of ''Gish'' and ''Siamese Dream'', and that they could always produce music that sounded like their older albums, but chose instead to try to push their music in new directions.〔 Corgan later commented, "The song was our way of saying ‘fuck you’ to all those people who thought we’d somehow lost our minds and weren’t able to return home. We were in the studio for what appeared to be the last time, so it was very emotional, and we had only three days."〔Thomas, Richard. "Signal to Noise: The Sonic Diary of the Smashing Pumpkins".
