"Don't Look Back in Anger" is a song by the English rock band Oasis, released on 19 February 1996 by Creation Records as the fifth single from their second studio album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995). "Don't Look Back in Anger" was written by the lead guitarist and chief songwriter, Noel Gallagher, and produced by Gallagher and Owen Morris. It was the first Oasis single with lead vocals by Noel, who had previously only sung lead on B-sides, instead of his brother, Liam. Noel later sang lead vocals on six other singles.
The single was the second Oasis song to reach number one on the UK singles chart, and it was certified seven times platinum in the UK. The music video was directed by Nigel Dick, featuring Oasis performing at a mansion with a large group of women. Critically, the song received positive reviews. It is one of Oasis's signature songs and has been played at almost every live show. In later decades, it has been included in retrospective rankings of best songs, and has been described as an "anthem" by critics in various contexts.
