"Ricochet" is a 1995 single by Faith No More, taken from their fifth studio album King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime. Produced by Andy Wallace in the Bearsville Studios, the song was borne out of a period of transition for the group, who had recently fired their previous guitar player Jim Martin, and were dealing with the absence of keyboard player Roddy Bottum, who was grieving the death of his friend Kurt Cobain.
Released on May 1, 1995, "Ricochet" was accompanied by a music video filmed in Paris. The single charted in Australia, Scotland, and the United Kingdom, including a number-one position on the UK Rock and Metal chart. The single has been positively received by music critics, particularly for its pithy, sarcastic lyrics.
