"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.
Lead singer Sully Erna and guitarist Tony Rombola wrote the song. Rombola said:
In July 2019, "Whatever" was ranked at No. 55 on the list "The 69 Best Alternative Rock Songs of 1999" by SPIN Magazine.[1]
