Foo Fighters’ 1998 rock anthem “My Hero” is a salute to the unsung heroes in everyday life. With its pounding drums, driving guitars, and Dave Grohl’s earnest vocals, the song builds a sense of triumphant urgency. Many interpreted it as a tribute to Kurt Cobain or to ordinary people who rise to the occasion. Its music video, showing a civilian saving people from a burning building, reinforced the theme of quiet heroism. “My Hero” became one of the band’s most cherished tracks, often used to highlight real-life heroes and stir emotions with its soaring chorus.
