"Whatever" is the first single by the American rock band Godsmack. Featured on the band's self-titled album, "Whatever" is one of Godsmack's most famous songs.
The song first appeared on a promotional bonus CD that came with some copies of All Wound Up.
"Whatever" was the longest-running song on the US Active Rock top 10 chart, remaining there for 33 weeks. Godsmack received much exposure when a disc jockey at WAAF, a radio station in Massachusetts, started playing this song on his show.
Song meaning
Lead singer Sully Erna and guitarist Tony Rombola wrote the song. Rombola said: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
"That's Sully's answer to his girlfriend when we were going through the whole struggle between rehearsing five nights a week, playing on the weekends and trying to keep a relationship going at the same time. We were really starting to take off, and it's hard to go through a relationship with a girl and have a band take all your time, plus we worked regular jobs, so there was probably 10 minutes of the day for them."[1]
