"My Hero" is a song by American rock band Foo Fighters. It was released in January 1998 as the third single from their second album, The Colour and the Shape (1997).[3][4] The song, which reached number six on the US Billboard Alternative Songs chart,[5] is considered a Foo Fighters classic[6] and a staple at the band's concerts.[7]
The song more recently received attention in August 2024, when Donald Trump used the song at a rally without permission and against the band's wishes. As a response, the Foo Fighters released a statement saying that any increased royalties from the song's usage would be donated directly to the Harris 2024 presidential campaign.
