"Warning" gave Green Day's sixth album its title in 2000 and went out as the record's second single, right behind "Minority". The band produced it themselves, with Ken Allardyce engineering and Jack Joseph-Puig on the mix, and it's a looser, sunnier Green Day than the snotty trio of old: Billie Joe Armstrong's guitar skips along on a riff that has drawn comparisons to the Kinks' "Picture Book", while Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool keep things bouncing rather than bashing.

Francis Lawrence directed the video, which reached MTV in January 2001 and trails a clueless young man through a day of small, reckless rule-breaking. Oddly, the band then left the song off their setlists for 21 years, finally dusting it off at a warm-up show ahead of their 2022 Lollapalooza appearance.
