Billy Corgan wrote "Bring the Light" by himself, and it landed on Zeitgeist, the 2007 album that brought the Smashing Pumpkins back after the band's 2006 reunion. Only two of the old faces showed up to make it: Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin recorded the album on their own, and on this track they share the production credit with Roy Thomas Baker.

Zeitgeist, the band's seventh studio album, came out on Martha's Music and Reprise and debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 before sales tailed off and the reviews came in mixed. Chamberlin wouldn't turn up on another Pumpkins album until 2018.
