"It Means Nothing" is a song by Welsh rock band Stereophonics from their sixth studio album, Pull the Pin (2007). The ballad was released as a single on 24 September 2007 and reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart. B-side " Helter Skelter" is a cover version of the original song by the Beatles.
Lead singer and guitarist Kelly Jones wrote "It Means Nothing" about the 7 July 2005 London bombings shortly after the event; it was one of the first songs composed for Pull the Pin. [2] A midtempo ballad, the song is a retrospective account on the bombings with theological overtones, with lyrics such as "You can find yourself a god / Believe in which one you want / 'Cause they love you all the same / They just go by different names."
