Released on Oasis's 1998 album The Masterplan, '(It's Good) To Be Free' stands as a poignant reflection on the band's evolving sound and the passage of time. Following the departure of guitarist Liam Gallagher, the track captures a more introspective and mature tone characteristic of the group's later work. The song features a stripped-back arrangement that highlights Noel Gallagher's songwriting depth, focusing on themes of freedom and the bittersweet nature of moving forward. It serves as a significant song in the band's discography, marking a shift away from their earlier pop-punk influences toward a more organic, rock-oriented style that resonated with fans during the late 1990s.
