Green Day Releases New Song “Dilemma”
American rock band Green Day, consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong (lead vocals/guitars), Mike Dirnt (bass) and Tré Cool (drums), will release their fourteenth studio album “Saviors” on January 19, 2023.
It is their first album in four years since the 2020 album “Father of All Motherfuckers”.
The band said of the album, “We've never been more excited to unleash new music than with Saviors, a record that's meant to be rocked live, together. So let's thrash.”
From the album, the band released the third single called “Dilemma” on December 7, 2023.
The track was written by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool. Produced by Rob Cavallo and Green Day.
The accompanying music video was directed by Ryan Baxley.
“'Dilemma' was one of those songs that was kind of easy to write because it was so personal to me,” the band frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said of the song in a statement. “We've seen so many of our peers struggle with addiction and mental illness. This song is all about the pain that comes from those experiences.”- qAmulKjcHoo

The band shared on social media, “Didn't think we'd leave ya without a new song before the end of the year, did ya? Taking things up a notch with this one.”
Last month, Billie Joe Armstrong told Kerrang! about the song in an interview, “I think it really cuts to the core of drug addiction, alcohol addiction and mental health. The first line is, 'Welcome to my problems / It's not an invitation.' It almost sounds like Facebook within itself. It's like, 'Come feel sorry for me, come feel my pain.' But, you know, I don't have Facebook or Twitter, so I just do it in songs to where I think with melody it becomes more relatable, and people can interpret it in the different ways they want. It could be me just joking, but it could be dead fucking serious, too.”-
