Green Day's "Jaded" comes barreling straight out of "Brain Stew" on Insomniac, the band's fourth album, from 1995: the two tracks sit 10th and 11th in the running order with no break between them, and in 1996 they were paired up as the album's third and final single. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the words and shares the music credit with Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool; Armstrong plays guitar, Dirnt bass and Cool drums, with Armstrong and Dirnt both singing. Rob Cavallo produced with the band, Kevin Army engineered and Jerry Finn mixed.
The double single went to 3 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and number one on Canada's RPM Alternative 30, came in a limited edition on a brain-shaped disc, and tucked an early, more sarcastic take on "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" among its B-sides.
