The song, released via Soundcloud, starts off with quieter, subdued vocals from frontman Billy Corgan. However, it eventually explodes into the louder, guitar-heavy fare for which the band is most known.

It's the first Pumpkins record since drummer Jimmy Chamberlin departed; as such, "Being Beige" has a high profile contributor in Tommy Lee, who handles the duties behind the drum kit for the song.

"People always ask me to explain songs, and honestly I can't," Corgan told Rolling Stone, which premiered the track, about the song. "But if there's honesty in this lyric, it's that there's something amiss in our cosmos. Yet still, we must love."
