Prior to the release of Foo Fighters' 1995 debut album Foo Fighters, which featured Grohl as the only official member, Grohl recruited bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, both formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as Nirvana touring guitarist Pat Smear. The band began with performances in Portland, Oregon. Goldsmith quit during the recording of their second album, The Colour and the Shape (1997); most of the drum parts were re-recorded by Grohl. Smear departed soon afterward but appeared as a guest with the band frequently from 2005; he rejoined in 2010.
Smear and Goldsmith were replaced by Franz Stahl and Taylor Hawkins; Stahl was fired before the recording of the group's third album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose (1999). The band briefly continued as a trio until Chris Shiflett joined on guitar after the completion of There Is Nothing Left to Lose. Foo Fighters released their fourth album, One by One, in 2002. It was followed with the two-disc In Your Honor (2005), which was split between acoustic songs and heavier material. Foo Fighters released their sixth album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, in 2007.
For Foo Fighters' seventh studio album, Wasting Light (2011), produced by Butch Vig, Smear returned as a full member. Sonic Highways (2014) was released as the soundtrack to the television miniseries directed by Grohl. Concrete and Gold (2017) was the second Foo Fighters album to reach number one in the United States and their first studio album to feature longtime session and touring keyboardist Rami Jaffee as a full member. The band's tenth album, Medicine at Midnight (2021), was the last to feature Hawkins, who died in March 2022.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, "But Here We Are" (the band's 11th) would release on June 2nd, 2023.
On May 21, 2023, some days before the album's release, Foo Fighters would officially announce that Josh Freese would be the new drummer.
Over the course of their career, Foo Fighters have won 15 Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album five times, making them among the most successful rock acts in Grammy history. In 2021, the band was announced as recipients of the first-ever "Global Icon" award at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, their first year of eligibility.

Foo Fighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's just as dumb
As he denies
He never lies
Her new disguise
Is butterfly
I'm not a fool
You're the one that bothers me
I'm not a fool
You're the one pretending to be
I'd die for some
Red pellet guns
In wonderland
If she was true
She'd make them blue
Every time (yeah, it goes)
I'm all sick for you
I'm not a fool
You're the one that bothers me
I'm not a fool
You're the one pretending to be
Where's this come from?
He's just as dumb
As he denies
She never lies
Her new disguise
Is butterfly
I'm all sick for you
I'm not a fool
You're the one that bothers me
I'm not a fool
You're the one pretending to be

I'm all sick for you
I'm not a fool
You're the one that bothers me
I'm not a fool
You're the one pretending to be
The lyrics of Foo Fighters' song "Butterflies" present a confusing narrative that is perhaps difficult to unravel at first. The first few lines introduce a male character who the singer believes to be "dumb," a belief he denies; subsequently, a female character enters the picture, who the singer believes has adopted a new "disguise" as a butterfly. As the song progresses, we learn that the singer is "sick" for the female character, but that he is not a "fool," and that the female character is "pretending to be" something she is not. The lyrics end with a repetition of the opening lines.
It is possible that this song is a commentary on pretension and personal honesty. The lyrics suggest that the female character, while perhaps initially displaying her true self, has altered her identity in some way, and that the male character is not fooled by this transformation. The singer's insistence that he is not a "fool" could be interpreted as an emphasis on his desire for authenticity, whereas his attraction to the female character might imply that he has a weakness for appearances. The repeated line "Where's this come from?" might suggest confusion or surprise at the situations presented in the song.
Overall, the lyrics to "Butterflies" present a narrative that is purposefully opaque, leaving much to the interpretation of the listener. The song's focus on surface appearances and the importance of being perceived as genuine in a world of deceptive, "butterfly"-like disguises provides a compelling thematic underpinning to the lyrics.
