"Love Dies Young" closed out the singles run from Medicine at Midnight, the tenth Foo Fighters album, going out as the fifth and last on November 22, 2021, through Roswell Records and RCA. Greg Kurstin produced it, Darrell Thorp engineered and Mark "Spike" Stent mixed, and the whole band shares the writing credit. It turned out to be the last Foo Fighters single released in Taylor Hawkins' lifetime.
Dave Grohl directed the video, and it's a riot: the band as a synchronized swimming team, their faces deepfaked onto the swimmers, taking a four-minute chewing-out from their coach, played by Jason Sudeikis, before they face the judges. The finale tips its hat to the Baby Ruth gag from Caddyshack, a candy bar in the water mistaken for something far less sweet.
