It was the first single from the group's 2007 album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. It is one of Foo Fighters' most successful songs; only \"Learn to Fly\" and \"Best of You\" beat its position on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.\n\nIn a 2007 interview with XFM, frontman Dave Grohl stopped short of explaining the meaning behind \"The Pretender\", but alluded its roots go to current political unrest. Grohl noted,\n\"That's the thing with lyrics, you never want to give away specifics, because it's nice for people to have their own idea or interpretation of the song. But, you know, everyone's been fucked over before and I think a lot of people feel fucked over right now and they're not getting what they were promised, and so something to do with that.\"\n\nGrohl also told XFM \"The Pretender\" was not initially planned for the album and happened really quickly.\n\"That song didn't happen until later on in the session. We didn't go into making the record with that song and it happened after we recorded a lot of stuff. Up until that point, I didn't know if we had a good opening song or not. So after we recorded it, I thought, 'oh this is perfect, we have the song to open the record,' and it just became everybody's favorite song. ... It's the type of song that I look forward to opening shows with and it came together really easily. We put that song together in, I don't know, a day, whereas a lot of the other songs we worked on for weeks.\""},{"idArtist":"111233","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"67f66c07-6e61-4026-ade5-7e782fad3a5d","idAlbum":"2109570","idTrack":"32723605","strTrack":"Breakout","strTrackThumb":"http://www.theaudiodb.com/images/media/track/thumb/swyrwr1341964069.jpg","strMusicVid":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eNBM17tkjI","strDescription":"\"Breakout\" is a single from the third Foo Fighters album There Is Nothing Left to Lose.

The song was conceived when Dave Grohl returned home to Washington, D.C., following the initial recording sessions for the album. It was eventually recorded as part of the second set of sessions, which took place at Grandmaster Recorders in January-February 1997.\n\nThe song was written when the band took a two-week break from recording after the initial sessions. Dave Grohl wrote \"Everlong\" by himself at his home in Virginia. Written in the key of D Major, the song opens with a quiet, clean guitar playing the chords that form the basis of the verse. A fast drum beat enters, which is joined by the same chords played with distortion. Though in 4/4 time, the verse repeats after every seven measures. The verses are based on the progression \u00e2\u2122\u00ad3-1-\u00e2\u2122\u00ad6-1. The first chord is Dmaj7 chord, followed by a Bsus2. This is followed by a Gsus2 chord. The pre-chorus follows the progression \u00e2\u2122\u00ad3-\u00e2\u2122\u00ad7, but with an added guitar riff adding strength to the instrumentation as Grohl's vocals rise to a shout. The chorus uses the progression 1-\u00e2\u2122\u00ad6-\u00e2\u2122\u00ad3 (\u00e2\u2122\u00ad7-\u00e2\u2122\u00ad6), a mainstay of rock music. The song ends on a G chord, never resolving back to D.\nThe track features a new wave-style drum beat, which was a first for Grohl at the time.\n\nDuring the instrumental break, three indecipherable tracks whispered by Grohl can be heard. The exact wordings are unknown, but according to the official Foo Fighters newsgroup FAQ, the source materials are a love letter, a technical manual, and a story about a studio technician's father."},{"idArtist":"111233","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"67f66c07-6e61-4026-ade5-7e782fad3a5d","idAlbum":"2109574","idTrack":"32723651","strTrack":"Bridge Burning","strTrackThumb":null,"strMusicVid":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZFMTjQ7Xi0","strDescription":""},{"idArtist":"111233","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"67f66c07-6e61-4026-ade5-7e782fad3a5d","idAlbum":"2109574","idTrack":"32723652","strTrack":"Rope","strTrackThumb":"http://www.theaudiodb.com/images/media/track/thumb/wtwpyt1366228500.jpg","strMusicVid":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbpqZT_56Ns","strDescription":"\"Rope\" had its origins during the Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace world tour, as frontman Dave Grohl played an acoustic guitar while waiting for the soundchecks or fly to the next city. After the tour ended in 2008, the song had its first version recorded during sessions at Grand Master Studios in Hollywood. It would later be brought into the Wasting Light songs which were recorded at Grohl's garage.\nThe song's unusual rhythms and angular chords have a distinct influence from Rush as well as Led Zeppelin's album Presence, which Grohl declared \"may be my favorite album of theirs\". The main progression of chords is a flat seventh, a fourth and a minor third, warrant guitarist Chris Shiflett to comment that \"What my guitar is doing over the bass makes no sense in a way. It does, but you don't know how.\" The intro is a sequence of minor sevenths with a sus four, going from B minor to D, which Shiflett stated was \"kind of illogical, in a way, to your ear\", and Grohl himself compared to Television and Mission of Burma."},{"idArtist":"111233","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"67f66c07-6e61-4026-ade5-7e782fad3a5d","idAlbum":"2109574","idTrack":"32723653","strTrack":"Dear Rosemary","strTrackThumb":null,"strMusicVid":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rPVszLc7n0","strDescription":""},{"idArtist":"111233","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"67f66c07-6e61-4026-ade5-7e782fad3a5d","idAlbum":"2109574","idTrack":"32723654","strTrack":"White Limo","strTrackThumb":null,"strMusicVid":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebJ2brErERQ","strDescription":""},{"idArtist":"111233","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"67f66c07-6e61-4026-ade5-7e782fad3a5d","idAlbum":"2109574","idTrack":"32723655","strTrack":"Arlandria","strTrackThumb":null,"strMusicVid":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqsAlDEnmSA","strDescription":""},{"idArtist":"111233","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"67f66c07-6e61-4026-ade5-7e782fad3a5d","idAlbum":"2109574","idTrack":"32723656","strTrack":"These Days","strTrackThumb":"http://www.theaudiodb.com/images/media/track/thumb/rtpxwr1342010865.jpg","strMusicVid":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNLhxlEU52c&feature=related","strDescription":"\"These Days\" is the third single to be released in the US (4th in the UK), from American rock band Foo Fighters' seventh studio album Wasting Light.
