An alternative music video was also made, and it features the trio performing in what looks like a studio room, with stationary flickering lights placed behind the band. According to Sigismondi, the video is based on a recurring dream she experienced. The song's also availible to play on Rocksmith 2014, being part of a Muse 5-song pack The music video, directed by Italian-Canadian photographer and director Floria Sigismondi (known for working on videos with Marilyn Manson, The White Stripes and Incubus, just to name a few), portrays the band playing in a small furniture shop, wearing hoodies and tight cloth face masks with the bands' faces printed on them, combined with footage of dancers and various characters wearing skin-tight suits, which are unzipped at the end, revealing the beings inside the suits are made out of space.

It has also been featured in the movie Twilight. Supermassive Black Hole was added to Guitar Hero 3 in May of 2008, as part of a track pack alongside Exo-Politics and Stockholm Syndrome and an edited version of it was included on the FIFA 07 soundtrack. Additionally, when SMBH was performed live, during The 2nd Law tour and the Psycho UK/US tours, Bellamy played the main riff with a deep/synthy octave guitar effect. As of August, 2006, Bellamy has been utilising his guitar's Kaoss pad for the improvised scratching when SMBH is being performed live, making the solo part seem a bit more "funky".

The guitar solo was made using a sustainer, and the guitar track itself might have also been reversed and coupled with a synth. This can best be heard on the acappella track, starting at 2:11. During the last chorus in the studio version, a quiet choir of Chrises and Matts is singing "d-d-d-d-d-d-d" in the background. The distorted whispered vocals in the studio version and early live versions were sung by Bellamy and later replaced by Wolstenholme (probably so Bellamy could dance around the stage and do improv on guitar). It also features a cabassa, which is played live by Morgan and a short "Into the Supermassive" vocoder line, which is sung by Howard. Instrumentally, the song is heavy on synths and electronic drums, but it also features a really fuzzy bass and heavily overdriven guitar. It was was produced by Rich Costey, a clip of Muse recording SMBH with Costey can be seen here. The song was also inspired by the Time is Running Out B-Side, The Groove, released in 2003, which was considered by Bellamy to be an early version of SMBH. According to Bellamy, the disco influences might've also came from being in New York City for a while, when they were recording the album (and the song) at Electric Lady and Avatar Studios. The song was inspired by the likes of Norwegian funk & disco beats, Belgian bands Millionaire, dEUS, Soulwax and Evil Superstars and Scottish band Franz Ferdinand, and has also been described by the band as being like Prince and Kanye West with the drum beat not being rocky, and Rage Against the Machine-style riffs thrown underneath. The SMBH single was officially released on 12th June of 2006, but has leaked a month before, on May 7th, a day before the UK radio premiere. Supermassive Black Hole (often abbreviated as SMBH), a song and the first and lead single from Muse's fourth album, Black Holes & Revelations, released in 2006, features yet another iconic Muse riff.
