Vevo Footnotes Revisits Oasis Classic “Don’t Look Back In Anger” Legacy

Vevo and Oasis release a new episode of Vevo Footnotes exploring the story behind “Don’t Look Back In Anger,” tracing its inspirations, creation, and lasting cultural weight. The episode highlights the song’s piano riff nod to John Lennon’s “Imagine,” its Pasadena-shot video directed by Nigel Dick, and the appearance of Patrick Macnee, famously known as John Steed from The Avengers. It also revisits the track’s role as the fourth single from ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?,’ which went on to become Oasis’ second UK #1 and a defining release of the 1990s.

The episode also unpacks some of the song’s most enduring details, including the origin of the lyric “So Sally can wait,” Noel Gallagher’s first lead vocal on an Oasis single, and the early live performance in Sheffield before the song even had a title. Vevo Footnotes closes with reflections on how the song has grown into a shared experience between band and audience, cementing its place as one of modern rock’s most recognizable and meaningful anthems.
