"Breakout" is a single from the third Foo Fighters album There Is Nothing Left to Lose.
The single was released as a two disc set in the UK and Europe, and also had separate releases in the Netherlands, Australia and Japan. Promotional singles were also released in the US for radio play.
The song was featured in the movie Me, Myself & Irene, and its music video features Dave Grohl as someone suffering from a "multiple personality" disorder (like Jim Carrey's character in the movie) and Traylor Howard, who also starred in the movie, as his girlfriend. It also features Tony Cox, Anthony Anderson, and Dave Grohl's mom, Ginny, as the woman who flips Dave off while he is driving.
This song was featured on the MTV series Making the Video.
The song is a playable track in Lego Rock Band.
A live version recorded on November 23, 1999 at the Barrowlands for the BBC Radio 1's Rock Show programme was released as a B-side to the CD versions of the "Generator" single.
Two live versions were released on the Everywhere but Home DVD, recorded in Toronto and Reykjavík.
