==Music video== 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/liam-gallagher-debuts-new-song-wall-of-glass-with-dizzying-video-w485140|title=Liam Gallagher Debuts New Song 'Wall of Glass' With Dizzying Video|work=Rolling Stone}}</ref>
