"Lyla" is a song by the English rock bandOasis. It was released in May 2005 as the first single from their sixth studio album,Don't Believe the Truth (2005). "Lyla" was the band's first single following the departure of their long-time drummerAlan White, and replaced byRingo Starr's son andthe Who drummerZak Starkey as an additional drummer of the band.

The song was written by Oasis guitaristNoel Gallagher, who has varyingly described the track as "specifically designed forpogoing", "annoyingly catchy", and the "poppiest thing since "Roll with It". Noting the varied influences of the song, Gallagher says that it's "a bit like...The Soundtrack of Our Lives doingthe Who onSkol in a psychedelic city in the sky, or something".[2]

Composition

[edit]

Noel Gallagher says that the song existed in an early form as a song called "Sing" and dated from theHeathen Chemistry-era. He also says that the title for the final song should have been "Smiler", but was changed seeing as guitaristGem Archer's previous band, Heavy Stereo, also had a song called "Smiler".[3] Noel has also joked with the fact that the Lyla in the song is actually the sister of the Sally mentioned in the Oasis single "Don't Look Back in Anger". Also, he had said that the song is a "love song", being about Sally's sister.[4]

Originally claiming that he was not very fond of the song, Noel has said that "Lyla" "isn't even the fifth best track on the album". The song had existed as a demo since the early recording sessions for the album but was all but forgotten until practically the last minute.[5] However, on theLock the Box feature on the compilation albumStop the Clocks (2006), Noel admitted that he "didn't realise how good it was until [we] played it live", whileLiam Gallagher stated that he loved the "guitars, the drums, and the vocals" of the song.

Release

[edit]

"Lyla" was released in Japan on 11 May 2005 and in the United Kingdom and Australia five days later, on 16 May.[6][7][8] It became the band's seventh UK number one when it reached top spot on theUK Singles Chart during its first week of release.[9] The song also debuted at number 31 on the USModern Rock Tracks chart, peaking at number 19. It also appeared on the USBubbling Under Hot 100 chart at number eight. It was the first Oasis song to appear on any US singles chart since 2000, when "Go Let It Out" reached number 14 on theModern Rock Tracks chart.Sony's insistence that "Lyla" be released as the first single from the album helped to fuel the tension between the band and their record label, which led to Oasis not renewing their contract with the record label following the release ofDon't Believe the Truth.

Live performances

[edit]

When performing on the UK music chart showTop of the Pops, Liam, who was forced to mime to the music, made no secret of the fact, walking away from the microphone with his mouth closed mid-way through lines that he was supposedly 'singing'. It would be Liam's last performance on the programme before its demise in late 2006. However, Noel and the rest of the band would return in August 2005 to perform "The Importance of Being Idle" and later in 2009 to perform their last ever released single "Falling Down". Liam performed the song for the first time as a solo artist at Hackney Round Chapel (where the music video to "Lyla" was filmed) on 5 June 2019.[10]
