Background

In July 2008 it was announced on the band's official website that the recording of this song was complete. Bjorn Thorsrud was confirmed as a co-producer of the track, stating: "'G.L.O.W.' has me glowing all over".^[2] Later that month the band's website reported that the track had entered the mixing stage and that it was still slated for a September release. The article also featured a photo of Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin among others at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee where "G.L.O.W." was recorded. The single will receive a physical release in Europe, but will only be available digitally in the U.S.^{[citation needed]}

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Billy Corgan stated that, with American Gothic and "G.L.O.W.", the band "finally turned the corner... where it’s starting to feel like our music again, and not theirs, whoever 'they' might be," referring to the band's choice to continue making music without a record label.^[3] The single is unrelated to the planned eighth studio album.^{[4][dead link]}

"G.L.O.W." was released as a "digital 45" on the iTunes Store on November 4, 2008 and was released as a downloadable track for Guitar Hero World Tour on December 4, 2008, along with "1979" and "The Everlasting Gaze".^[5] The band worked on a music video with Justin Coloma for the song.^[6] The video premiered on MySpace on December 2, 2008.^[7]
