The song was released last week as the latest taster from the band’s upcoming 10th studio album, which is slated for release on February 5.
Foo Fighters have shared the official video for their latest single, ‘Waiting On A War’ - taken from their eagerly-awaited forthcoming album Medicine at Midnight.
Directed by Paola Kudacki, the ‘Waiting On A War’ video mixes footage of the outfit performing the track interspersed with clips of young people, whose livelihoods are being threatened by dangerous-looking adults.
“As a child growing up in the suburbs of Washington D.C., I was always afraid of war,” Dave Grohl recently wrote about the track.
“I had nightmares of missiles in the sky and soldiers in my backyard, most likely brought upon by the political tension of the early 1980’s and my proximity to the Nation’s Capitol. My youth was spent under the dark cloud of a hopeless future.”
He also described similarities between this fearful part of his childhood and his daughter's query of potential US war with North Korea.

“How depressing is it that childhood could be robbed of that beauty and innocence by this dark feeling of dread? So that’s what ‘Waiting On A War’ is about.”
The rock outfit shared 'No Son Of Mine' on New Year's Eve as a special 2021 gift to the fans.
