The Foo Fighters decided to really dig deep into the dark themes in "Shame Shame" while shooting the music video for the song. Grohl told NME that the video was inspired by a dream that he's had off and on for most of his life. "When we started considering the video, that dream I've lived with for 37 f***ing years seemed to match with the aesthetic of the song."
Grohl knew he needed the right person to bring the dream to life in the video, so he called on a friend, who made it work. "I called a friend of mine, Paola Kudacki, who's a world-renowned photographer and then called Sofia Boutella, who's just a force of nature. They fit perfectly together, the visuals — which are some dark corner of my psyche -– and the song. It's a bit darker than anything we've ever done."
