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 24. 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:
Caught In The Echo
Of All People
Window
Your Favorite Toy
If You Only Knew
Spit Shine
Unconditional
Child Actor
Amen, Caveman
Asking For A Friend
