"Unintended" is a song by English alternative rock band Muse, released as the fifth and final single from their 1999 debut album, Showbiz.

Content

The lyrics tell the story of a person coming out of depression because they have recently found happiness from love, and they now wish to see their life through to the end.

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 in the UK Singles Chart – an improvement of two positions on "Sunburn" and the highest of all the singles from the album.[1]
