The song was first mentioned on The Smashing Pumpkins' website under the working title "World's On Fire," and later under the title "Being Beige (World's On Fire)." Speaking of the song with Rolling Stone, Billy Corgan said "People always ask me to explain songs, and honestly I can't. But if there's honesty in this lyric, it's that there's something amiss in our cosmos. Yet still, we must love."
As early as November 2014, Corgan alluded to a new Smashing Pumpkins music video. Premiering on January 16, 2015 and directed by Brian and Brad Palmer, the video magnifies the surreal, dreamlike space of lost love experienced through the moment of an embrace, as twin bodies merge into one. It explores transcendence of oneself - into a new, limitless body of existence.
"Being Beige" received positive feedback. Rolling Stone noted how "its acoustic guitar and drum machine intro builds toward an urgent, memorable chorus." The 405 praised it by saying "the track features some pretty acoustic guitar arpeggios over mist-like drum machine sounds in its quieter moments, livening up to a crashing wave kineticism with sweeps of distorted guitar and aching melodies, as the vocals paint a stumbling melody over these sounds, layering towards the end in a maintained crescendo."
To date, the song has been performed live roughly 58 times, all within 2014, 2015 and ending with two WPC solo Madame ZuZu's shows in May 2016 following 2016's In Plainsong tour.
