Music sample

"D'You Know What I Mean?" is a song by the English rock band Oasis. Written by Noel Gallagher, it was released as the first single from their third album Be Here Now (1997).

The song reached number one in the UK Singles Chart, the third Oasis song to do so. The song also claimed the number one position in Ireland, Finland, and Spain as well as reaching the Top 5 in Canada, Norway, Sweden, and New Zealand. It sold 162,000 copies in its first day in the shops and 370,000 by the end of the first week. It is Oasis's second biggest selling single in the UK with sales of 745,000, achieving Platinum status in the process. It was the 12th biggest selling single of 1997 in the UK.

In October 2011, NME placed it at number 77 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".

In July 2016, an edited, remixed and remastered version of the song was released, entitled D'You Know What I Mean? (NG's 2016 Rethink). The reissue formed part of the wider rerelease of the Be Here Now album to celebrate its 20th anniversary, which was released on 14 October 2016.

One of the B-sides, "Stay Young", has become a popular Oasis song, so much so that fans voted it onto the B-sides collection The Masterplan - one of only two B-sides from the Be Here Now period which made the album. The song was originally intended to be the "Digsy's Dinner" of Be Here Now (the lighthearted novelty track, such as "Digsy's Dinner" on Definitely Maybe and "She's Electric" on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?), until Noel set it aside in favour of "Magic Pie". Gallagher claims not to be particularly fond of the track. On 28 October 1998, "Stay Young" was released as a CD single in its own right by Epic Records Japan.

One of the other B-sides is a cover of David Bowie's song, "Heroes".
