Release Notes

"Little By Little / She Is Love" is Oasis's only double A-side single, released on 23 September 2002 (some sources list 19 September). It was the third single from their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry.

  • This marked a shift in Oasis's singles strategy during the post-Britpop era of Heathen Chemistry, which had a more straightforward rock sound compared to their earlier work.
  • "Little By Little" (written and sung by Noel Gallagher) is the more prominent track — a mid-tempo, anthemic rocker with a big chorus that became a fan favourite and live staple.
  • "She Is Love" (also written by Noel, but with a lighter, acoustic-driven feel) provides contrast as the other A-side.
  • It was the band's last era of consistent top-charting singles before their later years.

The double A-side peaked at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, held off the top spot (it was one of four top-5 singles from the album). It also reached:

  • No. 2 in Scotland
  • No. 9 in Ireland
  • Top 20 in several European countries
