Former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher released his debut solo album, As You Were, in 2017 via Warner Records. Now he has shared a brand new song, “Shockwave.” It’s said to be the first single from his sophomore album, Why Me? Why Not., which doesn’t have a release date yet. He’s also the subject of a new documentary, As It Was, which charts Gallagher’s tough journey from the breakup of Oasis to a successful solo career. It just premiered in the UK and is due out later this year in America (the exact date TBA). Watch the trailer for that below, as well as a clip from the documentary.

Gallagher co-wrote “Shockwave” with Andrew Wyatt and Greg Kurstin, who also produced the track, and recorded it in Los Angeles and at RAK Studios in London.

Gallagher had this to say about the song in a press release: “I’m buzzing. Buzzing to be alive, buzzing to be making tunes, raring to go. It’s nice to be back with some new music because it means I can get out there, play some gigs and give some people some stick because that is what I do. Let’s face it, it’s boring without me.”

Of Why Me? Why Not., Gallagher boasts: “It’s a better record than As You Were, which is saying something, as that was epic, wasn’t it?”
