In 2022, the Foo Fighters mourned the passing of their longtime drummer, Taylor Hawkins, who passed away at 50 years old. Honoring the legacy he helped shape, the group released the album But Here We Are in 2023. But since that moment, new music has been somewhat scarce for fans. Thankfully, the wait for new music from the Foo Fighters is nearly over, as the band not only announced the title for their upcoming album but decided to share the title track of Your Favorite Toy.
Over the last few months, Dave Grohl dropped hints about what the band was working on. Getting fans excited for the new year, it seems that Your Favorite Toy will hit shelves and streaming platforms on April 24. While the new track is just a taste of the album, Grohl promised, “‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album.”

Discussing the creative process, Grohl admitted the group didn’t discover the new sound until a year of working on the album. “We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”
