"Wall of Glass" is the debut solo single by English singer and songwriter Liam Gallagher. Gallagher co-wrote the song with Andrew Wyatt and producer Greg Kurstin. [1] The song was released as the lead single for Gallagher's debut solo studio album, As You Were (2017). It was initially set for release on 2 June but was instead released a day earlier. [2]
"Wall of Glass" reached number 60 on the UK Singles Chart on 2 June, just one day after its release. It peaked at number 21 after Gallagher's performance at One Love Manchester. It is his best-selling single as a solo artist, eventually being certified Platinum by the BPI, and remained his highest-charting single in the UK until 2022's "Everything's Electric" reached number 18.
In the song's disorienting video, Gallagher is seen in a hall of mirrors. He later stares into a mirror, but only his reflection sings back. Elsewhere, the camera flips upside down as Gallagher glides down a mysterious hallway, seated on a chair. [3]
The music video was released on 31 May 2017, and is directed by François Rousselet and produced by Riff Raff Film. [4] [5]
