“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.
Your Favorite Toy’s release heralds Foo Fighters’ massive Take Cover world tour, which kicks off June
10th at Unity Arena in Oslo, following a pair of US festival headlines at Welcome to Rockville and
Bottlerock. For more information on the tour, go to https://foofighters.lnk.to/ShowsPR
