Days after learning their 11th studio album, ‘But Here We Are,’ and some of its content were nominated for Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance, and Best Rock Album at the 2024 GRAMMYs, Foo Fighters are fighting to see the project’s housed cut, ‘The Glass,’ shine atop Billboard Rock charts again thanks to a little help from EGO winner H.E.R.

Just weeks after rocking ‘SNL‘ with a live version of the tune, the surprising duo of acts released their own versions of the cut for a double A-side single on Friday (November 17).

“Waiting for this storm to pass / Waiting on this side of the glass / But I see my reflection in you / See your reflection in me,” the veteran rockers wail on the updated track.

The original incarnation had already peaked at #5 on Billboard’s Hard Rock hitlist, but could the reinterpreted rendition by H.E.R. be just what’s needed to push it even higher?
