Be Careful What You Wish For

Noel Gallagher's producer, David Holmes, encouraged him to come up with multiple lyrics for this song. Gallagher explained to Radio X's John Kennedy: "The first two verses are a message to my children. About be careful, chasing fame, money, drugs, that sort of thing. David said, just put it out there, just write as many verses as you can, like Dylan. I wrote so many verses for that song, It was really long at one point, and I said this can't be nine minutes long, so we edited it down. It's gonna challenge perceptions of what it is I do."
