Foo Fighters put "No Way Back" on In Your Honor in 2005 and sent it out as the album's fourth single, sharing a double A-side with "Cold Day in the Sun" from the record's acoustic second disc. The writing credit goes to all four of them, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett, and Nick Raskulinecz co-produced it with the band and mixed it, with Mike Terry engineering.

It's a flat-out charge, guitars piled high and Grohl hollering like the brakes just failed. The flip swaps the roles around: Hawkins sings his own tune while Grohl takes the drum stool. The video keeps things loose, cutting together tour footage shot mostly in Europe, with Grohl spraying beer over the crowd and trying his luck at ice hockey.
