Description

Don’t Look Back in Anger was produced by Gallagher and Owen Morris. Released in February 1996 as the fifth single from their second studio album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995, it became Oasis's second single to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart, earning a quintuple-platinum sales certification in the UK. It was the first Oasis single with lead vocals by Noel, who had previously only sung lead on B-sides, instead of his brother Liam. Noel would later sing lead vocals on six other singles. It is one of the band's signature songs, and was played at almost every live show from its release to the dissolution of the band in 2009. In 2012, it was ranked number one on a list of the 50 Most Explosive Choruses by NME and the same year it was voted the fourth-most-popular No. 1 single of the last 60 years in the UK by the public. 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 don't actually know anybody called Sally. It's just a word that fit, y’know.” He further explained "It's about not being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It's about looking forward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on the past or talk about what might have been."

Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born 29 May 1967) is an English singer, songwriter and musician. He was the chief songwriter, lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the rock band Oasis until their split in 2009. After leaving Oasis, he formed Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. He is one of the most successful songwriters in British music history, as the writer of eight UK number-one singles and co-writer of a further number one, as well as the sole or primary writer of ten UK number-one studio albums. He is widely considered to be one of the most influential songwriters in the history of British rock music, cited by numerous major subsequent artists as an influence. Gallagher began playing the guitar at age twelve and became a roadie and technician for Inspiral Carpets at age 21. He learnt that his younger brother Liam had joined a band called The Rain, which eventually became Oasis; Liam invited him to join the group as manager. After rejecting the offer, Gallagher agreed to join the band, on the condition that he would take creative control of the group and become its sole songwriter and lead guitarist.
