Noel Gallagher explained that "At the time... it was written in the middle of grunge and all that, and I remember Nirvana had a tune called 'I Hate Myself and Want to Die', and I was like...

Gallagher noted in 2006 that the 1994 Oasis single "Live Forever" "was written in the middle of grunge and all that, and I remember Nirvana had a tune called 'I Hate Myself and I Want to Die,' and I was like...'..Well, I'm not fucking having that.' As much as I fucking like him [Cobain] and all that shit, I'm not having that.
