"For What It's Worth" is the first official single from Placebo's sixth studio album, Battle for the Sun. (Not to be confused with For What It's Worth by The Buffalo Springfield.)
It was released on 20 April 2009, in a similar fashion to "Battle for the Sun", i.e. first play on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 program, and then digital download from iTunes and emusic. The single featured a cover of Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't It Be Good" as the B-side.
The video for the song was released on the following day, on the band's MySpace page. The single was released in the U.S. via iTunes and UK via emusic on 5 May 2009.
The single debuted in the UK Singles Chart at #97 after it was released exclusively via iTunes. It was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single.
