"Supersonic" is a song by English rock band Oasis, released as their debut single on 11 April 1994, and later appeared on their debut studio album, Definitely Maybe (1994). It was produced by the band and Mark Coyle, their live sound engineer. The single was accompanied by two music videos, one directed by Mark Szaszy and the other by Nick Egan.
"Supersonic" was written by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher and recorded in a single day at the Pink Museum Studio (now the Motor Museum) in Liverpool, England in mid-December 1993. Despite being technically a demo, it was never re-recorded, and it features Beatles-influenced backing vocals from Tony Griffiths of the band the Real People. According to tour DJ Phil Smith, the song only cost £100 to produce.
"Supersonic" reached number 31 on the UK Singles Chart, number two on the UK Independent Singles Chart, as well as becoming Oasis' first single to chart in the US. It also charted in the top 30 in Ireland and New Zealand, as well as the top 40 in Scotland and France. In 2024, the song was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
