The American Dream Is Killing Me - Green Day - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Green Day made a triumphant return in 2024 with this statement-making lead single from their fourteenth studio album, Saviors. "The American Dream Is Killing Me" also doubled up as the name of a new website for the US punks, which launched in October 2023. On "The American Dream Is Killing Me,"—notably the first Green Day single produced by Rob Cavallo since 2013's "X-Kid"—the band allude to the turbulence of contemporary American politics. TikTok, taxes, and the whitewashing of American history also get a mention, while the song lends a note structure from traditional English Christmas Carol "The First Noel." "The American Dream Is Killing Me" was composed by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool. Meanwhile, Rob Cavallo, who worked with the band on 2004's American Idiot and 1994 classic Dookie, also played a part in producing the Saviors album, which landed in January 2024 and shot straight to number one on the UK Albums Chart.
