‘Of All People’ is the roaring new single from Foo Fighters’ upcoming twelfth studio album, Your Favorite Toy, out April 24 via Roswell Records/Columbia Records.
Following the previously released tracks ‘Asking for a Friend’, ‘Your Favorite Toy’ and ‘Caught in the Echo’, the Foo’s latest punk rocker is two and a half minutes of driving guitars old school fans of the band are sure to get a kick out of.
Speaking about the track in a recent interview with The Guardian, Foo’s frontman and songwriter Dave Grohl explained how he wrote ‘Of All People’ “after bumping into a drug dealer from the 90s that was getting everyone fucked up on heroin.”
“I hadn’t seen them in 30 years, and they’re alive, healthy and sober,” Grohl explained. “I was so happy that this person survived, while at the same time, I was devastated, because of all of the people I know that we’ve lost to exactly that drug.
“I was so fucking angry, but at the same time so grateful to see them alive and well. Again, a conversation within myself, feeling so conflicted and divided. When I read the lyrics back, I mentioned them to my therapist: is this survivor’s guilt?”
Foo Fighters’ upcoming album was recorded at Grohl’s home and co-produced by the band with Oliver Roman, who also engineered the album, with Mark “Spike” Stent on mixing duties.
