It was the first [[single (music)|single]] from their fourth album, ''[[Adore (The Smashing Pumpkins album)|Adore]]'', and exhibited a new sound from the band which integrated traditional instruments with [[Music loop|loops]] and [[electronic music]]. "Ava Adore" and the B-sides were written by [[Billy Corgan]]. The song is featured in the [[MuchMusic]] compilation album, ''[[Big Shiny Tunes 3]]''. == Music video == The music video was released on June 1, 1998 and was directed by [[Dom and Nic]], featuring the band in gothic-inspired clothing and walking through a variety of scenes. The video, filmed in one long take, is notable for its use of [[slow motion|slow]] and [[fast motion]] while the speed of the camera is apparently static, and the band continues to [[lip sync]] to the song in perfect rhythm. The calculations required to work out the speed changes caused massive delays on set, causing the band to nearly call off the entire plan.<ref>Corgan, Billy and James Iha. Band Commentary for "Ava Adore. " ''[[Greatest Hits Video Collection]]'' DVD. 2001.</ref> The sets seen in the video were arranged in a configuration resembling a hallway, in which a rave sequence functioned as the end of the hall. Instead of continuing to the right, the camera rotates to the left, revealing the artifice of the visuals. The music video won an award for "most stylish video" at the 1998 VH1 Fashion Awards.<ref>http://www.steveprutz.com/sp/awards.html</ref> == Track listing == {{Track listing | title1 = Ava Adore | length1 = 4:22 | title2 = Czarina | length2 = 4:43 | title3 = Once in a While | length3 = 3:33 }} {{Track listing | headline = UK Limited Edition numbered 7" vinyl<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=157639 |title=Smashing Pumpkins Ave Adore - Numbered UK 7" RECORD (157639) |publisher=Eil.com |date= |accessdate=May 19, 2011| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20110607093251/http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=157639| archivedate= June 7, 2011 | deadurl= no}}</ref> | title1 = Ava Adore | length1 = 4:22 | title2 = Czarina | length2 = 4:43 }} == Charts == {| class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders" |- !
