"Drown" is a promotional single by The Smashing Pumpkins from the soundtrack to the 1992 Cameron Crowe film, Singles. The song debuted during the Gish tour and was first recorded at Waterfront Studios, which belongs to Lenny Kravitz. "Drown" became a moderate radio hit in mid-1992 and gave the band significant exposure just before work commenced on Siamese Dream. It peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
