The story behind the song

"Big Me" originated during Dave Grohl's time with Nirvana, even being played during their final studio session. It was written and performed entirely by Grohl, who was the sole member of Foo Fighters when it was released as a single from their 1995 debut album. The song itself is a short, tongue-in-cheek, ridiculously candy-coated pop tune. It plays like a sweet, direct expression of affection.
