"All Apologies" is a song by American rock band Nirvana, written by frontman Kurt Cobain. It was released in December 1993 as the second single from the band's third album, In Utero. It was released as a double A-side with the song "Rape Me". "All Apologies" was the band's third number one Modern Rock hit and reached number 32 on the UK Singles Chart. The Song was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 1995, and has since been included on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of "The Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll".

"All Apologies" was written by Cobain in 1990. In a 2005 interview with Harp, drummer Dave Grohl explained that the song was "something that Kurt wrote on [a] 4-track in our apartment in Olympia. I remember hearing it and thinking, 'God, this guy has such a beautiful sense of melody, I can’t believe he’s screaming all the time.'"

The song was first recorded in the studio by Craig Montgomery at Music Source Studios in Seattle, Washington on January 1, 1991. This version had more a folk music aspect than later versions. Bassist Krist Novoselic accompanied Cobain on a second guitar instead of his standard instrument, utilizing seventh chords as he played. Grohl's drumming was accented by a tambourine. The song was first performed live at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England on November 6, 1991.
