The song “Mercy” was first mentioned in a fall 2004 Blender magazine article, where Blender sat in on a session where U2 tried to settle the final running order of “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb”:
As it stands, the album is three seconds shy of an hour and, as Bono says, “too much of a good thing is a bad thing,” so drastic measures need to be taken. “I have a theory,” Mullen begins, and a reverential silence descends as the drummer — traditionally the first band member to be shouted down in these situations — states his case. After just five minutes, it has been unanimously decided that the track “Mercy,” a six-and-a-half-minute outpouring of U2 at its most uninhibitedly U2-ish, must go. Hence a song that any self-respecting band would be proud to call a single becomes what Bono immediately anoints “the best B-side you’ve ever heard.” Later, another more experimental candidate entitled “Fast Cars” (“an Irish/Mexican vibe”) gets evicted, and the album becomes a lean and lithe 11 tracks.
The song didn’t disappear however, in November of that year, just after the album was released, “Mercy” appeared on the internet as a low quality digital file. The song was initially posted on the Interference message boards, by a fan who claimed to have gotten the song from a friend. That friend, would later tell the message board that he had received a copy of the album about a week and a half before the album was released, and it was given to him on cassette by a friend at Interscope Records. The cassette was digitized and burned to CD, and it was played for a group of fans at a house party, and was later ripped from that CD and uploaded to Interference the week of the album release. The claim was made that the song on the cassette sounded unmastered and that some of the levels seemed ‘funky’ even in that format.
In May 2007 Bono told an Italian fan, who posted the information on U2Place.Com, that “Mercy” would be included on the next album, and that Bono had no idea how the song had reached fans on the web. In 2009 during a promo radio appearance at XRT Radio in Chicago, The Edge told fans that the band really like “Mercy” but just haven’t figured out where to use it. The band had toyed with using it for the album No Line on the Horizon, but in the end it was held back for Songs of Ascent.
