D’you know what I mean ? “was released on 7 July 1997 was the first single from their highly anticipated third album Be Here Now (1997).

The song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, the third Oasis song to do so. The single also claimed the number-one position in Finland, Ireland, and Spain, and it reached the top five in Italy, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden.

In the United Kingdom. It sold 162,000 copies during its first day of release and 370,000 copies by the end of the first week. It ultimately sold 745,000 copies in the UK, achieving Platinum status in the process, and it was the 12th biggest-selling single of 1997. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 77 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".[1]

An edited, remixed, and remastered version of the song was released on 14 October 2016 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.[2] This new version was intended to be part of a remix of the entire album, but Noel Gallagher reportedly lost interest in the project and stopped after the first track.

In a 1997 interview promoting Be Here NowNoel Gallagher had the following to say about the first single: …."I was going to make up some profound statement in the chorus but I couldn't come up with anything that fitted. Then I just thought 'All my people right here, right now, d'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.' Very vague, very ambiguous, that'll do. Class!
