Who won Best Rock Song at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards?

Foo Fighters won Best Rock Song at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards for “Run.” The ceremony took place on January 28, 2018, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, recognizing music released during the 2016–17 eligibility period.

“Run” was the lead single from Foo Fighters’ ninth studio album, Concrete and Gold, released in September 2017. The song opens with a restrained, almost ballad-like passage before shifting into a much heavier guitar-driven arrangement, reflecting the band’s contrast between quiet verses and explosive choruses. Dave Grohl directed the music video, which humorously portrayed the band as elderly musicians performing for a retirement-home audience.

Best Rock Song is primarily a songwriting award, so the Grammy formally honors the songwriters rather than simply the performing group. Foo Fighters were also nominated that night for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Album; they won Best Rock Performance for “The Sky Is a Neighborhood” and Best Rock Album for Concrete and Gold. A common mix-up is confusing “Run” with the band’s other Grammy-winning tracks, such as “Walk,” “All My Life,” or “Waiting on a War.”
