"Lyric" was one of 2 singles, with "Honestly", that Zwan sent out to push Mary Star of the Sea, the only studio album the band ever made, released on Reprise in January 2003. Billy Corgan wrote it alone and produced it with Bjorn Thorsrud, and he made no secret of what he thought he had: he called the album "the great lost Pumpkins record", its music led by him and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin.
The record's name nods both to the Virgin Mary, whom Corgan credited with giving him comfort and guidance, and to the Catholic church in Key West, Florida, where he spent time while Zwan were first rehearsing. The glow didn't last: seven months after the album came out, Corgan announced the band was finished, blaming conflicts among its members.
