Green Day leans into the ’90s with the new music video for “Bobby Sox!”
Off their new album Saviors, “Bobby Sox” sees the band rock-out as Billie Joe Armstrong sings to prospective partners in a grainy video, where Green Day throws a party in a backyard.
Billie Joe wanted to capture the feeling of the early days, while making a song that spoke to queer audiences.
“‘Bobby Sox’ is one of my favorite songs on the album, it’s the ‘Nineties’90s song that we never wrote,” he said. “It started out being a song I wrote for my wife, but as it materialized, I wanted to switch it up and added, ‘Do you wanna be my boyfriend?’ on top of ‘Do you wanna be my girlfriend’ … So the song becomes a kind of universal anthem.”
