Songfacts®:

• Noel Gallagher wrote this song and did the lead vocals; it was the first time he sang lead in place of his brother Liam Gallagher on an Oasis single since "Don't Look Back In Anger."
• So who does this scathing song refer to? Gallagher wouldn't name names (some speculate it is Kate Moss), but he cleared it up a bit in a 2000 interview with Uncut. Said Gallagher: "Sunday Morning Call' and 'Where Did It All Go Wrong?' – they're the most factually correct on the record, because they're about certain real people who I know, but who, obviously, remain nameless. People who used to always turn up on my f--king doorstep, but at ungodly hours of the morning – and these are proper, well-off, rich, famous people, quite young. And they'd be running you through their drug and booze hell, and they ultimately think that to sort all this out they just write a cheque made payable to The Priory clinic, and six weeks later everyone's going to come up smelling of roses. 'Course, six weeks later they'll be back in your kitchen going, 'I can't handle it any more.' And you'll be going, 'At least you're not washing car windscreens for a living on f--king Baker Street. Get a grip of yourself, man.' It's like, if you don't want to do it no more, then don't do it. But for f--k's sake don't spend 20 grand trying to kick the habit that you can just kick by looking in the mirror and saying to yourself, 'Where did all this go wrong, man?' That's basically what them songs are about. I suppose they're subconsciously directed at myself in some ways." (This interview is available at Rock's Backpages.)
• The video was inspired by the movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and was shot in an old mental institution in Vancouver, Canada. It features Scottish actor James Cunningham, who starred in the original play of Trainspotting. >>>
