    Foo Fighters will release Your Favorite Toy on April 24th. Today they’ve shared the title track and pre-orders are up.

    Try not to choke on the glitter…
    
    “Your Favorite Toy,” the titular first single of Foo Fighters’ forthcoming 12th full-length studio album, has been released.
    
    The first new FF music of 2026, “Your Favorite Toy” is nothing short of an insidious earworm. Jagged guitar shards and sinister keyboard stabs bob and weave atop a relentless rhythmic pulse, as Dave Grohl unleashes a newfound sardonic vocal tone on infectious choruses:
    
    Get back
    Hear that, boy?
    Someone threw away your favorite toy for good
    For good 
    
    A perfect first taste and representation of the album of the same name, “Your Favorite Toy” sounds like nothing else in the band’s monolithic discography, while instantly and unmistakably identifiable as Foo Fighters. 
    
    Dave Grohl commented, “'Your Favorite Toy' really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new 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.”
    
    Preceded by its title track and last year’s incendiary “Asking For A Friend," Your Favorite Toy will be released April 24th via Roswell Records/RCA Records. Recorded at home, the album was co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Oliver Roman and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, and consists of the following songs:

    Well, I did not like that at all lol but I’ll always give new Foo Fighters a listen! Especially since it looks like Ilan drummed on it.

    Sounds like Dave doing a Liam Gallagher impression.

    Not really into the song but I mostly dig the production. Feels like Wasting Light.

    This band honestly sucks now. Shame, as Colour and the Shape was my first CD purchase.

    I almost thought Dave was meowing at the very beginning.
