But Here We Are is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters, released on June 2, 2023. Produced by Greg Kurstin and the band itself, it is their first studio album since the death of their longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins on March 25, 2022. Frontman Dave Grohl performed and recorded the entirety of the album's drum tracks in Hawkins' absence. Two singles, "Rescued" and "Under You", were released ahead of the album, as well as "Show Me How" and "The Teacher" which were released as promotional singles. Drummer Josh Freese was announced as the band's new drummer for the supporting tour.[5][6]

But Here We Are is dedicated to both Hawkins and Virginia; the latter of whom is Dave Grohl's mother who died in July 2022.[7][8]
