"Unintended" is a song by English rock band Muse, released as the fifth and final single from their 1999 debut album, Showbiz. It peaked at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart in June 2000 and reached number five in Norway in 2008.

Music video

The music video features many lovers 'blending' around each other as Matthew Bellamy and the band sit around. The blending effect is achieved using the slit-scan technique.

Release

The song was released on 5 June 2000 on 7" vinyl – backed with a live version of "Sober" – double CD – backed with "Recess", a live acoustic version of "Falling Down", "Nishe" and a live acoustic version of "Hate This & I'll Love You" – and cassette – backed with "Recess". It reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the highest-charting single from the album,[1] and became a top-five hit in Norway in 2008, peaking at number five on the VG-lista chart.

Live Performances

"Unintended" was performed consistently by the band until 2001. After this, it was performed occasionally in 2007, as well as on rare occasions during The Resistance Tour and The 2nd Law Tour. The song has not been performed since 2013.

Acoustic Version

On 23 June 2020 Matt Bellamy posted on his social media the release of an acoustic version of Unintended based on the arpeggio pattern from Bach's Prelude in C major from the Well Tempered Clavier.[2]

On 26 June the single was released on YouTube, Deezer, Amazon Music, Spotify and Apple Music on an EP, along with two other versions:

  1. Unintended (Acoustic version)
  2. Unintended A.I. Dream V.3 (Obeebo A.I.)
  3. Unintended (Piano Lullaby) [Instrumental]

Also, Bellamy wrote a tweet:[3]

I wrote this song when I was around 19 years old and it seems more relevant today than it was back then!
