Green Day is back in the game, and they want you to get high and tell them how they did with their newest song, "Good Riddance," which digs deep into the nautilus of nostalgia, rebellion, and raw emotion. As the group prepares for their upcoming Saviors Tour that'll see them play a career-summarizing, 37-song set filled with 30th-anniversary reflections for Dookie and 20th-anniversary reflections for American Idiot, the track serves as a little bit of both, both a farewell and a call to arms for fans, both new and old.
Billie Joe Armstrong on an ultra-special tour. The band's frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, has referred to the tour as a "celebration," Good Riddance is a perfect fit for that ethos. It's the song where you contemplate how far you've come and are still headbanging to the moment. Whether you were belting Basket Case in the '90s or bumping Holiday in the 2000s, this song brings us all back.
"Good Riddance" is a stirring anthem with soaring melodies and the unmistakable Green Day grit for every fan who has ever yelled their lyrics into the void. It's a salute to the past, a toast to the present, and a pledge that punk never dies.
The Saviors Tour is already gearing up for a historic ride through Green Day's legacy, and "Good Riddance" is only fueling the fire. Hold onto your hats because this is a goodbye you don't want to miss.
