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.

Love Like a Bomb
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl I feel you, I'm breathing your love all the time.
'Cause you turn me on, your love's like a bomb, blowing my mind.
'Cause you turn me on, your love's like a bomb, blowing my mind.
Am I reaching, the world that I want deep inside.
Girl I mean it, you hold the key to the strife.
'Cause you turn me on, your love's like a bomb, blowing my mind.
Blowing my mind.
Blowing my mind.
Blowing my mind.
Blowing my mind.
La la la la la la la.
Na na naaa na, na na na na na na naaah.
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na.
Yeah I'm seeing, a whole other world in my mind.
Girl I'm feeling, we've been in love all the time.
'Cause you turn me on, your love's like a bomb, blowing my mind.
'Cause you turn me on, your love's like a bomb, blowing my mind.
Yeah I'm seeing...
The lyrics of Oasis' Love Like a Bomb are about the power of love, and how it can make someone feel as if they are living in a whole other world. The singer sees a woman who is the key to his "strife," indicating that he may have been struggling before meeting her. He feels her love all the time and becomes turned on by it, describing it as a "bomb" that blows his mind. This suggests that the love he is experiencing is both intense and explosive.
The chorus of the song repeats the refrain "blowing my mind," emphasizing the overwhelming nature of the love that the singer is feeling. He may feel as though his entire world has been turned upside down by this woman and the love that they share. The song ends on a series of nonsensical syllables, further reinforcing the idea that the singer is caught up in a world of emotions and sensations that are difficult to put into words.
Overall, Love Like a Bomb is a moving tribute to the transformative power of love. It captures the intense emotions that come with falling head over heels for someone and suggests that this can be a life-changing experience.
