Green Day named their twelfth studio album after "Revolution Radio" and sent the song out as the record's second single. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the words and sings lead over his own electric guitar, while the music is credited to all three of them, with Mike Dirnt on bass and Tré Cool on drums and percussion, both chipping in backing vocals. The band produced it themselves, Chris Dugan engineered, and Andrew Scheps mixed it with Justin Hergett assisting.
The video was shot at 924 Gilman Street and surfaced in June 2017, and the song worked its way up the rock charts: number nine on the US Mainstream Rock chart, number six on the UK Rock chart and 11 on Canada's rock chart.
