"Oh Love" fired the starting pistol on Green Day's ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! & ¡Tré! trilogy: Reprise put it out on July 16, 2012, as the lead single from ¡Uno!, the band's ninth studio album, even though it's the song that closes that record. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the words, the music is credited to him with Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, and Rob Cavallo produced. The band had already aired it at a secret show in 2011 before cutting it at Jingletown Studios between February and June 2012.
Critics split down the middle, some warming to its style and tone, others calling it too safe. It still entered the US Rock Songs chart at number one, a first for Green Day and only the third song ever to do that, and it was the only track from the trilogy chosen for the 2017 collection God's Favorite Band.
