Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993 and released their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe (1994). The following year they recorded (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) with drummer Alan White, in the midst of a chart rivalry with peers Blur. Spending ten weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was also an international chart success and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. In addition, it stands as the fifth-best-selling album in the UK and the biggest-selling album in the UK of the 1990s. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspapers for their disputes and wild lifestyles. In 1996, Oasis performed two nights at Knebworth for an audience of 125,000 each time, the largest outdoor concerts in UK history at the time. In 1997, Oasis released their third album, Be Here Now. It became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history.
Oasis' popularity later declined and McGuigan and Arthurs left in 1999 as Oasis released Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000). They were replaced by former Heavy Stereo guitarist Gem Archer and former Ride guitarist Andy Bell. White departed in 2004, replaced by Zak Starkey and later Chris Sharrock. Oasis released three more studio albums, Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don't Believe the Truth (2005) and Dig Out Your Soul (2008). The group abruptly disbanded after the departure of Noel Gallagher in August 2009.
As of 2009, Oasis had sold over 70 million records worldwide. They are among the most successful acts on the UK Singles Chart and Albums Chart, with eight UK number-one singles and eight UK number-one albums. The band also achieved three platinum albums in the US. They won 17 NME Awards, nine Q Awards, four MTV Europe Music Awards and six Brit Awards, including one in 2007 for Outstanding Contribution to Music and one for the "Best Album of the Last 30 Years" for (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. They were nominated for two Grammy Awards.

The lyrics in Oasis's song "I Will Show You" revolve around a message of determination and resilience despite obstacles and doubts from external sources. In the first verse, the singer confidently asserts that they know exactly where they are going, despite being told that they could not go there without the knowledge or approval of others. This is a common theme in many of Oasis's songs, with the band frequently exploring the tension between individualism and the pressures of conformity and societal expectations.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of the singer's resolve to achieve their goals, no matter what anyone else may say or think. The repeated phrase "just you wait and see" is a defiant challenge to skeptics and critics, with the singer promising to prove them wrong and succeed despite their doubts. The final verse echoes the sentiments of the first, with the singer continuing to assert their self-assurance and determination.
Overall, "I Will Show You" is a lively and upbeat offering from Oasis, with its driving guitar riffs and catchy melody underscoring the message of self-belief and resilience.
