'' Untitled `` Some Might Say '' `` Cast No Shadow '' `` She 's Electric '' `` Morning Glory '' Untitled `` Champagne Supernova '' `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' is a song by the English rock band Oasis. It was released on 19 February 1996 as the fifth single from their second studio album, ( What 's the Story ) Morning Glory ? ( 1995 ). The song was written by the band 's guitarist and main songwriter, Noel Gallagher. It became the band 's second single to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart, where it also went platinum. `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' was also the first Oasis single with lead vocals by Noel ( who had previously only sung lead on B - sides ) instead of his brother, Liam. It is one of the band 's signature songs, and was played at almost every single live show from its release to the dissolution of the band. It was ranked number one on a list of the ' 50 Most Explosive Choruses ' by the NME, and was voted as the fourth most popular number - one single of the last 60 years in the UK by the public in conjunction with the Official Charts Company 's 60th anniversary. On 29 May 2017, Absolute Radio 90s broadcast a programme counting down the top 50 songs written by Noel Gallagher to mark his 50th birthday with `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' being voted as number one.

He said before playing that he 'd only written it the previous Tuesday ( 18 April 1995 ) and that he did n't even have a title for it yet. The title was picked as a reference to the 1979 David Bowie song `` Look Back in Anger '' from the seminal art rock album Lodger, with Bowie 's work being a massive Oasis influence. Noel Gallagher said of the song, `` ( It ) reminds me of a cross between `` All the Young Dudes '' and ( something ) the Beatles might have done. '' Of the character `` Sally '' referred to in the song he commented, `` I do n't actually know anybody called Sally. It 's just a word that fit, y'know, might as well throw a girl 's name in there. '' Noel Gallagher ( from Uncut magazine August 2007 ) : `` We were in Paris playing with the Verve, and I had the chords for that song and started writing it. We were due to play two days later. Our first - ever big arena gig, it 's called Sheffield Arena now. At the sound check, I was strumming away on the acoustic guitar, and our kid ( Liam ) said, ' What 's that you 're singin ' ? ' I was n't singing anyway, I was just making it up. And our kid said, ' Are you singing ' So Sally can wait ' ? ' And I was like -- that 's genius ! So I started singing, ' So Sally can wait. ' I remember going back to the dressing room and writing it out. It all came really quickly after that. '' Gallagher claims that the character `` Lyla '', from Oasis ' 2005 single is the sister of Sally. In the interview on the DVD released with the special edition of Stop the Clocks, Gallagher also revealed that a girl approached him and asked him if Sally was the same girl as in the Stone Roses ' track `` Sally Cinnamon ''. Gallagher replied that he had never thought of that but thought it was good anyway. Noel Gallagher admits that certain lines from the song are lifted from John Lennon : `` I got this tape in the United States that had apparently been burgled from the Dakota Hotel and someone had found these cassettes. Lennon was starting to record his memoirs on tape. He 's going on about ' trying to start a revolution from me bed, because they said the brains I had went to my head. ' I thought ' Thank you, I 'll take that ' ! '' `` Revolution from me bed '' most likely refers to Lennon 's notorious bed - ins in 1969. The piano in the introduction of the song strongly resembles Lennon 's `` Imagine '', as well as `` Watching the Wheels ''. As Oasis are often criticised for borrowing parts of other artists ' songs for their own, Noel Gallagher commented on the intro 's similarity to `` Imagine '' saying, `` In the case of Do n't Look Back in Anger -- I mean, the opening piano riff 's `` Imagine ''. 50 % of it 's put in there to wind people up, and the other 50 % is saying ' look, this is how songs like `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' come about -- because they 're inspired by songs like `` Imagine '' '. And no matter what people might think, there will be some 13 year old kid out there who 'll read an interview and think ' `` Imagine '' ? I 've never heard that song. ' and he might go and buy the album, you know what I mean ? '' Gallagher also admits that he was under the influence of illegal substances when he wrote the song and to this day he claims he does not know what it means. Live performances The song became a favourite at Oasis 's live performances. Noel Gallagher encouraged the crowd to sing along and often kept quiet during the first chorus, allowing the fans instead to sing along while he played the song 's guitar part. During the Dig Out Your Soul Tour, Noel Gallagher abandoned the song 's previous, full - band live arrangement in favour of a much slower, primarily acoustic arrangement in a lower key ( B major ). From 2008 through Oasis 's breakup, the song was performed by Gallagher on his Gibson J - 200 acoustic guitar backed up by Gem Archer on electric guitar, and Chris Sharrock playing tambourine. On 11 and 12 July 2009, during performances of the song at London 's Wembley Stadium, Gallagher did n't sing a word ; instead, he stood back, played guitar, and allowed the crowd to sing the entire song. Since 2011, he has alternated between the acoustic version and the original arrangement when playing the song with his solo project, Noel Gallagher 's High Flying Birds. Oasis became the first act since the Jam to perform two songs on the same showing of Top of the Pops, performing `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '', followed by their cover of Slade 's `` Cum On Feel the Noize '', also on the single. In June 2017, Liam Gallagher performed an a cappella version of the song at Glastonbury, making it the first time he has performed the song rather than Noel. Manchester Arena bombing Oasis formed in Manchester in 1991, and following the Manchester Arena bombing after a concert by US singer Ariana Grande on 22 May 2017, the song was used by the people of Manchester in remembrance of the bombing 's 22 victims and to show the city 's spirit. The song was sung by students of Manchester 's Chetham 's music school on 23 May, and on 25 May it was spontaneously sung by the crowd gathered for a minute of silence in the city centre. The woman who started the singing told The Guardian, `` I love Manchester, and Oasis is part of my childhood. Do n't Look Back in Anger -- that 's what this is about : we ca n't be looking backwards to what happened, we have to look forwards to the future. '' The song came back into the charts, along with Ariana Grande 's `` One Last Time, '' which was number one in the iTunes single charts as of 26 May. On 27 May, the song was performed as a tribute by 50,000 audience members of a performance by The Courteeners in Manchester. It was performed by Coldplay 's Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland on either side of Ariana Grande at the One Love Manchester concert on 4 June 2017. Martin introduced the song by saying `` Ariana, you 've been singing a lot for us, so I think we in Britain want to sing for you. This is called `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '', and this is from us to you ``. It was also performed by the military band of the French Republican Guard on 13 June 2017, at the France versus England football match at the Stade de France, as a tribute to the victims of the attacks in Manchester and, more recently, London. Release The single 's picture sleeve contains a photo by Brian Cannon. He intended the cover as a homage to the incident where Ringo Starr, having briefly left the Beatles in 1968 during the recording of the White Album, was persuaded to return and George Harrison decorated Starr 's drum kit in red, white and blue flowers to show their appreciation. The B - side `` Step Out '' was originally intended for the ( What 's the Story ) Morning Glory ? album but was taken off after Stevie Wonder requested 10 per cent of the royalties as the chorus bore a similarity to his hit `` Uptight ( Everything 's Alright ) ''. Also, because of this, Wonder, Henry Cosby and Sylvia Moy received credit for writing the song, along with Noel. The song 's chart success coincided with its usage at the end of the final episode of the BBC television drama Our Friends in the North. The show 's producers had included the track without knowing it was going to be released as a single. Critical reception `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' was met with high critical praise and it became a commercial hit. Billboard said of the tune, `` Noel Gallagher reveals a deft sense of timing and craft that turn his improprieties into masterful pop gems. '' In a 2006 readers ' poll conducted by Q magazine, `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' was voted the 20th best song of all time. In May 2007, NME magazine placed `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' at number 14 in its list of the `` 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever ''. Chart performance The song reached No. 1 in the singles charts of Ireland and the United Kingdom, and it was a moderate success by reaching the top 60 in various countries. The song was the 10th - biggest - selling single of 1996 in the UK. It is Oasis 's second biggest selling single in the UK, with sales of 970,000, going platinum in the process. The song returned to the UK charts in 2017 following Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland 's cover version at the One Love Manchester concert, reaching number 25. `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' is also Oasis 's sixth biggest Billboard hit in the US, reaching the number 10 spot on the Modern Rock Tracks for the week of 22 June 1996. Music video The video for the song was directed by Nigel Dick and features Patrick Macnee, the actor who played John Steed in the 1960s television series The Avengers, apparently a favourite of Oasis. It features the band being driven to a mansion similar to the Playboy Mansion and performing the song there ; a group of women dressed in white also occasionally lip sync to the lyrics. While filming the video, drummer Alan White met future wife Liz Atkins. They married on 13 August 1997 at Studley Priory Hotel in Oxfordshire, but later divorced. There are two versions of the music video. One being posted by Vevo which got 82 million views and the other one posted by the band themselves which generated over 84 million views. Covers Glay covered the song for their 2011 album Rare Collectives Vol. 4. The Killers covered this song at V Festival 2012.
