For What It's Worth was recorded Buffalo Springfield and written by the group's guitarist and vocalist Stephen Stills. The song was released in January 1967 as a single and later included on their self-titled debut album.

The song is widely interpreted as a reflection of the social and political unrest that was prevalent in the United States during the mid-1960s, particularly related to the Vietnam War and civil rights movement. The lyrics describe a confrontation between protesters and police, and the confusion and fear that can arise in such situations.

It has been featured in numerous films and TV shows, and has been covered by a wide range of artists. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked "For What It's Worth" #63 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
