Background
edit"She's Electric" first appeared on Oasis' 1995 album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?[3] It was intended to be released on the band's debut album Definitely Maybe, but was replaced by the song "Digsy's Dinner" which they believed was a better live song.

A lyric video for the song was released on 2 October 2018, 23 years to the day of the album's release.[5]
