"Untitled" was the Smashing Pumpkins' goodbye, the last thing they recorded and released before breaking up in 2000, and Billy Corgan, who wrote it and co-produced it with Howard Willing, didn't bother hiding the fact. On November 29, 2000, just before the band's second-to-last show, at Chicago's United Center, he handed the song to Q101 DJ James VanOsdol and called it a special see-ya-later song; the station then gave away the one copy Corgan had brought in.
Corgan said it was meant to sound like the Pumpkins of Gish and Siamese Dream, proof that they could always have made those records again and had chosen to keep moving instead. Virgin issued it as a single in Europe with Machina outtakes on the B-sides, dressed in the artwork of the Rotten Apples greatest hits.
