"Rescued" is a song by American rock band Foo Fighters. Released on April 19, 2023, it is the first single by the band since the death of longtime drummer, Taylor Hawkins, and the first off of their eleventh studio album, But Here We Are.[1][2][3][4]

Release

Upon its release as the first single from But Here We Are, the band described it as "the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between".[5]

Reception

Consequence of Sound stated in a review of the song that "If anything Foo Fighters have never sounded more vital. As they launch into the song's blistering post-chorus, there is an intoxicating power in the band's open-hearted delivery – the same one that has characterized the band's biggest hits, like "Best of You", "The Pretender", and "Everlong".[6] Metal Planet Music stated that "'Rescued' is a full-blooded rocker that contains a fiery defiance, shot through with pain and fragility. Bringing together all we love about Foo Fighters, the guitars rampage, the rhythms drive and Dave Grohl brings one of his most emotional vocals to the lyrics."[7] "Rescued" gave the band their 29th top-ten hit on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart setting a record for the most top-tens on that chart.[8]
