"Breakout" is a single from the Foo Fighters third album There Is Nothing Left to Lose. It was released on two main discs in 2000. It was featured in the movie Me, Myself & Irene, and its music video features Dave Grohl as someone suffering from a "multiple personality" disorder (similar to Jim Carrey's character in the movie) and Traylor Howard, who also starred in the movie, as his girlfriend. It also features Tony Cox.

The song heard in the beginning of the video is "Generator", another song from There Is Nothing Left to Lose.

This song was featured on the MTV series Making the Video.

The song according to Grohl refers to acne breakouts caused by stressful dates.[citation needed]
