What a tasty surprise to start off the week on a positive note. I can always use some new Green Day. This one heads into a pop direction with the synths beats. Almost sounds like something Greg Hawks from The Cars would add at the last minute. I never really fully considered Green Day pop Punk, but it works nicely for them. Download/check.

Kind of weird to hear such earnestly positive lyrics from them, but it's super catchy and I dig the Cars vibe. Best track I've heard from them in a while. Should be sent to radio.

This is really good. Should smash if they push it to radio.

Oh this one is good. It has a fresh feel for Green Day, combining some of the new wave sounds from that side project that totally wasn't Green Day with their traditional sound. This is very much a catchy summer song and if Green Day finds a partner who'll work well with them I could see this exploding on radio and also on Spotify and Apple Music.

I dunno if this song is supposed to be a real feel-good song or a parody. "Pollyanna" is not a positive term. Like "Good Riddance", with the title, they're turning the song over on its head. But hey, Good Riddance is one of their most successful songs, so maybe it'll work for them again.

This belongs much more on Alt/AAA than Active, but of course it only takes slightly over 50 spins to reach the top 50 there
Seems like this is being released through Crush Music, which has managed the band for a few years now.
And yeah, I suppose there is a tinge of darkness to the lyrics - it's obviously a response to the COVID pandemic - but I do think they're going for sincere optimism.

Finally, a new song of theirs that I will actually want to return to. I like this new sort of Power Pop vibe that they've included in this one. It reminds me of something off of "Warning." Nothing groundbreaking, but it has a positive sound and is catchy enough that if they want to continue in this direction, I'm totally fine with it at this point in their careers.

To me this has every chance to make it Top 5 and stick around for a while.
If Strokes could pull it off last year Green Day absolutely can too.

4 Alts and an Active get onboard for the second week in a row. I'm really puzzled why this isn't being formally sent because the interest is clearly there.

Don't know if this is supposed to have darker undertones, but everything about this song, from the lyrics to the melodies just lifts me up and puts me in a good mood

I don't know why they aren't sending this, but it's nice to hear Green Day sounding good again.

Wow is this Song moving very slowly on both Alternative and Active which is unusual for a Green Day Single, I enjoy listening to this Song more then their last two original Singles "Oh Yeah!" and "Father of all...". It would be a real shame if this Song were to hit a brick wall sooner rather than later on these Formats.

Also, this seems to be a one-off single and not a lead to a new album. Considering this, it's actually doing pretty well so far for a non-radio single.
