Gallagher first wrote the chorus and one verse of the song in the 1990s but took 23 years to complete it, having given away the verse to The Chemical Brothers during the recording sessions for "Setting Sun". After struggling to rewrite a verse to fit with the chorus in the years that followed, Gallagher has stated the melody for the verse suddenly came to him "without even thinking about it",{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLL5cdVDLAE|date=8 May 2016|title=Noel Gallagher VERY funny Podcast May 8th 2016.

The chorus originally surfaced on an Oasis demo tape from 1992 as a song that later became "My Sister Lover", a B-side to "Stand by Me".{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/noel-gallagher/85216|date=7 May 2015|title=Noel Gallagher resurrects Oasis demo 'Lock All The Doors'|work=NME|accessdate=10 February 2016}}
