Dave Grohl Says Foo Fighters Renamed Album Over 'Wicked: For Good' Title Clash

Grohl said the planned title For Good risked confusion with the Wicked sequel.

Overview

  • Grohl told Radio X that he first called the title track For Good and meant to give the album the same name.
  • He said the film Wicked: For Good led him to change the song’s name, which then became the album title, Your Favorite Toy.
  • The album is out now, with singles including Caught in the Echo and a Grohl-directed Spit Shine video supporting the release.
  • The band has debuted new songs live, including first performances on Saturday Night Live UK.
  • Rolling Stone notes the Wicked sequel opened in November 2025 with director Jon M. Chu and stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, clarifying why the titles overlapped.
