"Oh Yeah!" went out through Reprise in January 2020 as the third single from Father of All Motherfuckers, Green Day's 13th studio album, and it pulls a move the trio had never tried before: a sample. The chorus borrows Joan Jett's take on "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)", which is why Gary Glitter and Mike Leander share the writing credit with Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool. It began life as "Bulletproof Backpack" and was renamed along the way to lean into that borrowed hook.
Armstrong plays electric guitar and sings lead, Dirnt holds down bass and backing vocals, and Cool drums, with Butch Walker co-producing alongside the band and mixing it himself. It's a strutting, glammed-up stomp built for big rooms, and WWE agreed, making it the official theme of its Backlash event that year.
