"Wall of Glass" is a song and debut solo single by English singer and songwriter Liam Gallagher. Gallagher co-wrote the song with Andrew Wyatt and producer Greg Kurstin.[1] Kurstin also produced the single. 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 Official UK Charts on 2 June, just one day after its release. It peaked at number 21 after Gallagher's performance at One Love Manchester.

Music video

In the song's disorienting video, Gallagher 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]
