All Apologies is a song by Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. It appears as the 12th track on the band’s third and final studio album, In Utero, released by DGC Records in September 1993. The song closes the American version of the album, while non US versions of In Utero feature an additional song, Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip, which begins after approximately 20 minutes of silence on the same track. On December 6, 1993, All Apologies was released as the second single from In Utero, as a double A-side with the song, Rape Me.
It was Nirvana‘s final single before Cobain’s “suicide” in April 1994. Although not released as a physical single in the US, All Apologies became the third Nirvana song to top the Modern Rock chart, and reached number 32 on the UK Singles Chart. It was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 1995, and was included on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame‘s list of The Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.
