"Oh Please" comes from Get What You Need, the 2003 album on which the Undertones finally delivered new studio songs after reforming in November 1999 with Paul McLoone as their new lead singer. Michael Bradley wrote it, words and music, and Rory Donaghy produced it.
The Irish power pop and punk band's comeback record split the critics. Allmusic and Uncut were won over, the latter placing its songs alongside the band's early classics in garage-band heaven, while Blender gave it two stars and heard a road-hardened bar band. Tracks from it were remastered in 2022, together with those of follow-up Dig Yourself Deep, for the compilation Dig What You Need.
