"She's Electric" is a song by English rock band Oasis, from their 1995 album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

Background

"She's Electric" was taken from Oasis' 1995 album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?[2] 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]

To mark the 23rd anniversary of the album, which was released on 1 October 1995, a new lyric video for the song was released on 2 October 2018.[3]
