The story behind the song

"Whatever" is a non-album single from Oasis, released in 1994. Written by Noel Gallagher, the song was recorded in July 1994 during a week-long session that also produced "Listen Up" and "Fade Away." The recording included the London Session Orchestra, featuring former Electric Light Orchestra violinist Wilfred Gibson, whose string sections were added on the final day of the session. This single served as a bridge between the band's debut album, Definitely Maybe, and their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?.
