    Summary quotation from Wikipedia:

    “Something from Nothing” is a song by the American rock band Foo Fighters from their eighth studio album Sonic Highways. It was released as the album’s lead single on October 16, 2014. Recorded at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio, the song was influenced by the Chicago music scene.

Composition

    “Something from Nothing” was inspired by the history of Chicago, Illinois, and was recorded in the city at Electrical Audio.

    According to Daniel Kreps of the Rolling Stone magazine, the lyrics of the song “Here lies a city on fire… it started with a spark, and burned into the dark” seem to be inspired by the Great Chicago Fire (1871).

    “Something from Nothing” is “a ferocious, at times even hypnotic, rocker with hints of funk, psychedelia, and Dave Grohl’s signature monster growl.” It features soaring guitar that is reminiscent of Chicago-based alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. The song starts with muffled guitar, and subsequently builds up to “non-stop ferocious rock ’n’ roll” in its fourth minute, and “an ear-shattering outro lined with scorching guitar riffs.”

Recording

    “Something from Nothing” was recorded at Albini’s Electrical Audio studio in Chicago. The song features guitarist Rick Nielsen of the rock band Cheap Trick as Chicago City’s “guest of honor.”

Music video

    The music video aired at the end of the Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways “Chicago” episode. It shows the band performing at Electrical Audio while 2D animated lyrics appear in the background throughout the video. The video also features an appearance by Rick Nielsen.

Commercial performance

    “Something from Nothing” debuted at number five on the Billboard Rock Airplay chart, as well as at number 12 and number 16 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs and Mainstream Rock charts respectively. It soon rose to number 1 on all three charts.
