Songfacts®:

This is the first song from Noel Gallagher's collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous. The track was put out as the B-side to "Dream On," the fourth single from his self-titled debut album.
Amorphous Androgynous is one of the aliases of Manchester electro duo Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans, who also record under the moniker of The Future Sound of London. Gallagher first worked with the pair in 2008 when they remixed the Oasis single "Falling Down" and he described their 22-minute remix as "A staggering piece of music. Monumental even." Cobain was also the after-show DJ at one of Oasis's London Wembley Arena shows the same year.
