Foo Fighters Release First New Song Since 2023 with Tribute to Taylor Hawkins

The Foo Fighters have released their first new single of 2025, "Today's Song," marking their first original music since the 2023 album But Here We Are. The song, written by Dave Grohl, reflects themes of personal evolution, perseverance, and coping with life's uncertainties, opening slowly before building to a powerful climax. Alongside the release, Grohl shared a heartfelt letter acknowledging the band's 30-year journey, paying tribute to former members William Goldsmith, Franz Stahl, Josh Freese—who was recently dismissed from the band—and especially honoring late drummer Taylor Hawkins, whose memory remains deeply ingrained in the band's identity. Despite recent personal challenges faced by Grohl, including revelations about fathering a child outside of his marriage, the band appears united and focused on moving forward. No replacement for Freese has been announced yet, and the band's lineup for upcoming tours remains partially undisclosed. The new release underscores the Foo Fighters' resilience and brotherhood amid loss and change.
