The single is part of Green Day’s latest album, Saviorsreleased in January 2024. Directed by Ryan Baxley and Brendan Walterthe video adopts a car racing aesthetic and pays homage to cult films. The band commented on the creative and low-budget production, highlighting the use of cardboard boxes and other improvised resources to create a nostalgic and fun visual.
The song is named after one of our favorite cult classic films, so it only made sense to pay homage to it with the music video. We went over budget on it, so we had to get creative with cardboard boxes, some duct tape, and toy cars we found in the basement.” The band wrote: ”Buckle up and enjoy the ride!”
This release accompanies the announcement of new tour dates Saviorswhich includes presentations at Japan in 2025.
