Background
"She's Electric" was taken from 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. The song is notable for its storytelling lyrics and singer Liam Gallagher's vocal performance which includes falsetto.[1] The track has been noted for its Beatles influences, including similarities in the chorus melody to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and in the outro harmonies to "With a Little Help from My Friends".[4][5][6] Portions of the song's verse also carry an identical melodic and bass line as the verse of "Lady Madonna", albeit transposed.[7]
A lyric video for the song was released on 2 October 2018, 23 years to the day of the album's release.[8]
