Foo Fighters Today’s Song is the band’s first original release since their 2023 album But Here We Are.

The track arrives alongside an emotional message from frontman Dave Grohl, who reflects on the band’s highs and lows over the years. “Over the years, we’ve had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak,” Grohl writes. “Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat. We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you can’t go it alone.”

Grohl also pays tribute to past Foo Fighters members, including guitarist Franz Stahl and drummers William Goldsmith and Josh Freese—who was dismissed from the group in May. He adds, “It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.”

He then honors the late Taylor Hawkins: “Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever. The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.”

Foo Fighters Today’s Song is available now on digital platforms. As of now, no replacement drummer has been named. The band is set to resume touring in Asia this October.
