British rock singer Yungblud has collaborated with the Smashing Pumpkins for a new version of Yungblud’s song “Zombie.”

Both the original song and the album it appears on, 2025’s Idols, have been nominated for Grammy awards. Now, a “heavier” rendition recorded with the Pumpkins is available for fans.

You can listen to the track below. An accompanying music video is expected to be released on Jan. 2.

Yungblud Has Always Been Inspired by the Smashing Pumpkins

In a statement, Yungblud — real name Dominic Harrison — mentioned that the music of the Smashing Pumpkins has consistently inspired his own work.

“Siamese Dream was an album that was there for me more than I could ever explain when I was growing up, so to be making music with the band that created it is really quite hard to comprehend,” he said (via NME). “Billy [Corgan] has always been such a massive inspiration to me but more recently a huge mentor of mine. His perspective on the importance of truth in art is something that I’ve always held close to my heart.”

Yungblud continued by stating that “Zombie,” to him, is the most important song on his Idols album.

“It’s deeply personal and it was heavily influenced by the Smashing Pumpkins’ ability to blend emotion, cinema, and heavy guitars,” he explained. “I sent Billy an email, asking if he would re-imagine this song with me and when he agreed, it was a dream come true. Watching one of my idols work on something that I had written was one of the greatest honors of my life. I love that this new version of ‘Zombie’ is heavier; it features Billy Corgan’s iconic guitar sound, has more urgency, and it rips my heart out. I’m so proud of it.”

Corgan also expressed gratitude for being part of the project.

“Yungblud’s star shines bright, so it’s been great fun to lend our zig-zag voice to his ‘Zombie,’ which he’s said was inspired by one of our own,” he said. “Hence the encouragement to make this rendition as personal as possible, and I’m proud to say we’ve done that; if only to honor him in return.”
