Someone (I can't remember who) had the idea that we re-visit, re-edit the entire album for posterity’s sake. We got as far as the first track before we couldn't be arsed anymore and gave up… it does sound fucking mega though!”

The song is available to stream and download, plus comes free as an instant grat when the album is pre-ordered here.

The Noel Gallagher-penned track reached No.1 in the UK the first time around, becoming the Manchester band's third UK No.1 and their second biggest selling single in the UK.
