It was released April 17, 1995 in the United States and in January 1996 in the United Kingdom as the fifth and final single from the album.

Since the album's release, Naveed has been a staple in the band's live performances. The song was also performed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Naveed (album)

Naveed is the debut album by Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace. It was produced by Arnold Lanni, and was released on March 22, 1994 by Sony Music Canada. Naveed became a success in Canada, selling over 100,000 copies (Platinum Certification) by the end of the year. There were five singles released for the album, including "The Birdman", "Starseed" and "Naveed". The title Naveed is taken from the Persian name for the bearer of good news., This is the only album to feature the bass player Chris Eacrett, who was replaced by Duncan Coutts.

Background

The band recorded several demo songs in January 1992 including, "Out of Here" and an early version of "The Birdman" at Arnyard Studios. They would record another three-song demo in March in hopes of compiling a full album. "but we ran out of money after three songs," noted guitarist Mike Turner. "It was all self-financed, same old story. A friend of ours was going to CMJ, so we dubbed a few copies of what we had -- they didn't even have printed sleeves, just a phone number jotted on them -- and he passed those out. We started getting phone calls right away, and it was like, 'Well, maybe we ought to take this a little more seriously.'"
