They performed the track together for the first time on 'Saturday Night Live' last month
Foo Fighters and H.E.R. have teamed up and announced their double A-side single ‘The Glass’ which is set to release later this week.
Arriving today (November 17), the cover will form one part of a double A-side that also features the original version of ‘The Glass’ from Dave Grohl and co’s 11th and most recent album ‘But Here We Are’. The seven-inch vinyl edition is due for release on December 29 – pre-order here.
As per a press release, H.E.R.’s newly recorded solo version of ‘The Glass’ is a “stunning and singular vocal and guitar performance that wrings new sonic and emotional dimensions from the original”.
Dave Grohl and Co. performed the track with H.E.R together for the first time last month on Saturday Night Live. ‘The Glass’ was the fifth track from Foo Fighters’ latest studio album, ‘But Here We Are’. The double A-side will feature a reinterpretation of the song by the R&B singer as well as the original version seen on the Foo Fighters album.

The Foos also shared a brief video of their fantastic Wizard of Oz costumes on the band’s Instagram page, with Grohl as Dorothy Gale, Chris Shiflett as Tin Man, Nate Mendel as the Cowardly Lion, Pat Smear as the Wizard of Oz, Josh Freese as Scarecrow, and Rami Jaffee as Glinda.
“Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” the band captioned the clip on Instagram.
During Nate Bargatze-hosted episode of SNL, the Foo Fighters opened with the hard rocking “Rescued,” followed by the emotional track “The Glass,” with help from H.E.R. on vocals and guitar. Both tracks are from the act’s 11th album, But Here We Are. Unfortunately, the group didn’t rock their Wizard of Oz costumes while on stage.
For the SNL performance since the death last March of drummer Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters went with “Rescued,” their first single since their longtime bandmate’s passing.
The song is off of the band’s eleventh studio album But Here We Are, which delves into grief by “sorting through the fallout of what happens when things get completely unpredictable — when the people who have been threads in your day-to-day’s fabric get pulled out suddenly and cruelly,” as Rolling Stone‘s Maura Johnston wrote in a review.
But Here We Are is the group’s first album since 2005 with Dave Grohl on drums.
Foo Fighters are the third musical guest to perform on the show since its return post-strike last week. The return episode last week was hosted by Pete Davidson and featured Ice Spice as performer, while this week’s episode is being hosted and performed by Bad Bunny.
The band made their return with their 11th studio album ‘But Here We Are’ in June, marking their first record since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022. That album scored them a glowing five-star review from Ali Shutler for NME.
Shutler wrote: “‘But Here We Are’ is a beautiful, noisy celebration of brotherhood and a stark, painful exploration of loss. It is messy, gut-wrenching, ambitious and gorgeous, as the remaining members of Foo Fighters push themselves to their limits and beyond. Through it all, ‘But Here We Are’ is an undeniable reminder of the healing, unifying power of music.”
