Which Foo Fighters song is the lead single from their 2005 double album In Your Honor?

The story behind the answer

The lead single from Foo Fighters’ 2005 double album In Your Honor is “Best of You.”

Released on May 30, 2005, the song introduced the album’s forceful rock half and became one of the band’s signature anthems. Dave Grohl wrote it after appearing at campaign events for U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004. Its lyrics center on resisting control and breaking away from people or circumstances that hold you back.

“Best of You” was a major commercial success. It reached number 18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number four in the United Kingdom, and number five in Australia. The track also earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song.

The other options are also associated with In Your Honor, which can make this question tricky. “Resolve,” “No Way Back,” and “DOA” are album tracks or subsequent singles, but none was the album’s lead single.
