Cyr (song)

"Cyr" is the first Smashing Pumpkins single from their eleventh studio album, Shiny Vol. 2. A teaser of the song appeared on Sumerian Records' Instagram account on August 25, 2020. The caption for the Instagram post read: "this friday is the biggest announcement in sumerian history. stare down your masters. 8/28" Music recognition software identified the song title as "Cyr". "Cyr" is a French name that comes from the Latin name "Cyricus" and ultimately from the Greek word "kyrios", which is usually translated as "lord" or "master", aligning with the mysterious caption.

The single was released digitally worldwide on August 28, 2020, with "The Colour of Love" as an accompanying A-side.
