Whatever originally appeared in December 1994 as a standalone single, sitting between Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. The track stands out for its string arrangement, unusual for Oasis at the time, and reached number 3 on the UK singles chart. Neil Innes later received a writing credit because of the resemblance to his How Sweet To Be An Idiot. The B-side is (It's Good) To Be Free. This edition is a 7-inch single.
