    Ireland born and raised Shiarra Juthan is a label rep from Universal Music and Andy Bell's wife.
  • The song's lyrics sound like an instruction to smoke a joint ["Smoke it, don't drop it, right to the end. Breathe in, breathe out and then breathe in again..."].Speaking with The Quietus, Liam Gallagher agreed that's the vibe that he gets from the tune. "I don't smoke it during the week," he said, "I only have it in the studio with this lot. I'm not a big weed head but I'm not anti-weed. I was brought up on it. I fu--ing love it but I just don't do it as much anymore."
