The studio take of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" went out in December 1997 as the second single from Nimrod, Green Day's fifth album, but the song has lived just as large on stage, where it became a fixture of their shows and, more often than not, the one that sends the crowd home. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the words, and the music is credited to him with Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool.
It ranks among Green Day's best-loved songs, and the studio single turned into their most commercially successful, with more than five million copies sold by 2022. Every night it closes a show, it gets another chance to prove why.
