"All Apologies" is the twelfth and final song on Nirvana's 1993 release, In Utero (the UK version features one additional song, "Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip"). It was released alongside "Rape Me" as the second single from In Utero, but since an accompanying video was never made, it was promoted on MTV using footage from the band's then-recent Unplugged performance. As a result, the acoustic Unplugged rendition is perhaps even more familiar to casual fans than the electric studio version; indeed, this is the version found on the band's self-titled greatest-hits album.
In a 1993 Rolling Stone interview, Kurt Cobain, the song's author and Nirvana's frontman, told David Fricke that he wished he had put more songs like "All Apologies" on previous Nirvana albums. Though usually seen as Cobain's swansong, "All Apologies" was actually written in 1990, four years before his death.
