Songfacts®:

  • Noel Gallagher, who wrote this track and provided the vocals, told Q magazine October 2008: "Three chords, one note Krautpop! The kind of song I've wanted to write for years."
  • The Chemical Brothers did a re-mix of this for the B-side of the single release of "The Shock of the Lightning." It was the first ever official remix of an Oasis song. A number of reviewers have commented on this song's similarities with Noel Gallagher's prior collaboration with the Chemical Brothers, "Setting Sun."
