"Shame Shame" was the first single from Medicine at Midnight, Foo Fighters' tenth studio album, and it arrived in 2020 with Dave Grohl insisting it was unlike anything the band had done. He had a point. Nate Mendel said it began as little more than a bunch of clicks from Grohl, with no bass part at all until he added one that stuck.

Greg Kurstin produced it and is credited on strings alongside a small section of violin, viola and cello, and Mark "Spike" Stent mixed it into a tense, slinking groove. The band debuted it live on Saturday Night Live, and Paola Kudacki directed the video starring Sofia Boutella.
