And after decades of listening to the words, Oasis fans have taken to to share their thoughts. One declared: "Champagne Supernova is my favourite Oasis song, my favourite Britpop song, my favourite song of the 90s, my favourite 'insert category' song.

"But, despite consistently remaining one of the fan favourites of the band (Noel says it's the only song they've played at every gig since it was written), nobody's really sure what the hell it means."

Thankfully, people were quick to wade in with their interpretations. One fan said: "As far as the lyrical meaning behind the song, Noel once said it means something different to everyone.

"The opening line 'how many special people change' is an extremely emotional and powerful lyric that makes me think of people I have been very close to at a moment in time, and realise how far apart and different we have become.

"It's a reminder that people change and, once they change, you can never go back to those times because they are a moment in time.

"People grow up, move away and start families and this song always reminds me that you may not have the person, but you will always have the memories."

Another theorised: "I think it's about friends growing apart as they get older - something we all have to experience at some point in our lives. I think this song is Noel saying 'I miss you' to whoever this friend was."

And a third added: "'How many special people change?' Always been a super powerful line in my opinion. We have all experienced that at one time."

Some Oasis listeners also did a bit more digging. One of them commented: "Amazon Music says he had a house that he named 'Supernova Heights', so that explains a very lot that made no sense before."

And in response, a Redditor added: "It also makes the rest of the song sort of fall into place, right? He was partying at the house with someone, and someone else didn't show, and he missed them.

"It never mattered that it didn't make sense, I liked the song, but always wondered."
