Best of You is a song by the Foo Fighters, released as the lead single from the band’s fifth studio album, In Your Honor (2005). Dave Grohl notes that the song was written following appearances at 2004 American presidential candidate John Kerry’s campaign trail and is “about breaking away from the things that confine you”. The song holds the band’s highest chart peak in the U.S. (number 18), the UK (number four), and Australia (number five), and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. It also topped Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for four weeks and Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart for seven weeks. Following the band’s performance at Live Earth, the song again entered the UK charts at number 38.

In September 2023, for the 35th anniversary of Hot Modern Rock Tracks (which by then had been renamed to Alternative Airplay), Billboard ranked Best of You at number 91 on its list of the 100 most successful songs in the chart’s history.
