| ==Description==
| |
| Acoustic fingerpicking. Unintended was written sometime around 1998, although possibly being written in 1997. It was written on a keyboard, and it was not played live much in 1998 because of the fact that the band needed a keyboard player in order to do the song. By December 1998, however, it was re-written on guitar, appearing in the only complete 1998 setlist. By 1999 the song was still performed rarely, only making about thirty estimated appearances throughout the course of the year.

| Played heavily during the 2000 tour as a lighter anthem and occasionally during 2001. It returned to the set list with recent 2007 gigs (played in the key of D insted of E). When it was played from 1999 through 2001, both [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] and [[Christopher Wolstenholme|Wolstenholme]] would play guitar. Matt's was electric and Chris' would either be acoustic or electric. Chris would also play the bass with a foot pedal controller. From 2007 onwards, Matthew has been playing guitar, Chris has been playing bass and [[Morgan_Nicholls|Nicholls]] plays keyboards occasionally. When the song returned for The 2nd Law stadium tour, Matt only sang and Chris played electric guitar.

| Acording to Matt, the words came in first place, instead of the music in first. It's one of the [[Falling Down (song)|Two Songs]] in where the words came first, instead of the music in first place.<ref>CDNOW Interview, 29th Sept 1999.</ref>

| Bellamy's explanation: "There are a few unintended love songs as well. The song I wrote about the girl was written in the studio after a phone conversation with her. We called it 'Unintended' because it came out of nowhere, and I didn't mean it to happen, all of these feelings for this girl".
| | The song reached number 1 at the Official Charts Company's rock and metal charts, 13 on Billboard's Rock & Alternative Airplay charts, and it reached the peak position of number 56 on the Official Charts Company's general singles charts.<ref>https://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/won't-stand-down/</ref> |

| ===Remixes===
| | The creator of the cover art is still unknown, but the aesthetic is very reminiscent of English alternative metal band Sleep Token. The art contains, what appears to be, a mysterious monogram, speculated to be linked to the album name. The monogram logo also makes subtle appearances throughout the [[Won't Stand Down (video)|music video]], being on costumes and appearing as a car emblem. |
| A remix exists, entitled "MG remix", by "Jirob". "Jirob"'s first name appears to be Matt, judging his url, and Jirob stands for "J in Red on Blue". The track begins with an oldie worldy effect, followed by a sped up dance section.

| Unintended was written and debuted sometime in 1998. Matt was very apprehensive towards playing the song originally, as he originally envisioned it being performed using a keyboard, though he could not afford someone to play one. Thus, the band held off on playing Unintended for quite some time. Unintended remained a rare song all throughout 1999 before finally being played on regular rotation starting in January 2000. Unintended was performed at the majority of gigs in 2000.
