Becoming More Like Alfie

The second single from Casanova came out on 12 August 1996 and reached number 27. Larman, in The Critic, reads it as a wry look at male philandering and consent, and says it helped establish Hannon as a New Lad, somewhat to his bemusement. NME grouped it with Something for the Weekend as one of Britpop's least obvious classics, and named its movie fantasy.
