"[9] He told MTV News that the genesis of the song can be found in some of Soundgarden's hits, such as "Blow Up the Outside World" and "Fell on Black Days".

[10] An alternate recording of the song featuring Cornell singing in French[11] can be found on various international editions of the album.

[13] The title was created by Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament as part of a joke tracklist for the character Poncier's demo tape in the 1992 Cameron Crowe film Singles,[14] but Cornell surprised Crowe by writing and recording songs with the joke names.

The five-track Poncier EP, which includes the 1992 version of "Flutter Girl", was released as a promotional CD in 2015 for Record Store Day.

"[1] While the album was not a particularly big seller for Cornell, the single "Can't Change Me" was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance at the 42nd Grammy Awards.

Cornell said that is the title he had originally wanted for the album, but his manager at the time of the original release, Jim Guerinot, suggested that "Euphoria Morning" (without the "u") would be a better title:[6] It was a pretty dark album lyrically and pretty depressing, and I was going through a really difficult time in my life – my band wasn’t together anymore, my marriage was falling apart and I was dealing with it by drinking way too much, and that has its own problems, particularly with depression.

Fuckin’ bullshit!” The title was so beautifully poetic to begin with, just the concept of euphoria in mourning; it was a moment I felt inspired and I let all the air out of it.
