The La’s “There She Goes” was released in 1988 and became an unconventional, enduring pop-rock classic. Its jangly 1960s-inspired sound and obsessive repetition helped establish a guitar-led style later associated with Britpop, while its emotional ambiguity has kept listeners debating what the song means.

Rumours claimed it was about heroin, prompted by its imagery, but Lee Mavers and former guitarist Paul Hemmings denied this, while bassist John Power declined to confirm an interpretation. Written largely at a property near Liverpool’s Strawberry Field, the song unusually contains no verses, relying on a chorus and bridge; after gaining attention slowly, it was reissued in 1990 and later reached new audiences through its use in *Gilmore Girls*.
