Green Day Shares New Song “Father Of All…” From Upcoming Album
Today may be the most exciting day in pop punk history. Not only are Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer joining up for a massive 2020 tour – aptly named the Hella Mega Tour – all three bands also just released new singles and announced upcoming albums. What a glorious day! Green Day shared their new song, “Father Of All…” the title track from their upcoming album, Father Of All…, due on February 7, 2020.
Green Day’s new song is a bit of a shocking departure for the band. While it has the musical energy we’ve come to know and love – dirty guitars, grooving bass, and rolling drums – frontman Billie Joe Armstrong’s vocals got quite the update. He sings the verses in falsetto, filtered through some voice effect for added measure. In a new interview, he joked that he was trying to sing like Prince. The “Father Of All…” chorus is more familiar territory for Green Day, catchy and direct.
“Father Of All…” sounds most comparable to Green Day’s album ¡Dos! or to their 2008 side band Foxboro Hot Tubs. It could also be compared to Billie Joe’s 2018 side project, The Longshot. The song is polarizing – not surprising, given how different it sounds – and may require several listens just to wrap your head around it. It’s fast and fun, though, and an intriguing start to Green Day’s next album era.
Listen to “Father Of All…” below:
You can stream or download “Father Of All…” at all the major music providers here. You can also pre-order or pre-save the album Father Of All… now.
The new single will appear on Green Day’s upcoming album, Father Of All…, due out on February 7, 2020. While we don’t yet know the 10-song tracklisting, we do know that the full album clocks in at a mere 26 minutes. This will make it Green Day’s shortest album to date, even shorter than Insomniac.
In a bemusing new statement about the upcoming album, Billie Joe shared:
this record is The New!
soul, Motown, glam and manic anthemic. Punks, freaks and punishers!
The Dirty messy . The Stink. ,
The lyrics are like a party and lifestyle of not giving a fuck. The life AND death of the party. Not political. Surviving in chaos. The real shit.
Me mike and Tre of the Green Day cut through the bullshit. That’s how it’s always been for us. Everything else is fake. Frauds I tell ya!!
Rock has lost its balls. We’re gonna teabag all these mother fuckers. The baddest rock band on the planet that gives a shit.
“Glorious” or “glorious anarchy” seems to be the word that keeps coming up that reflects
Dancing
Tribalism
Anxiety
Joy
Violence
Drugs
Booze
Dangerous songs for dangerous kids!Our motto??
“Nothing says fuck you like a unicorn”Love And kisses

Changing Labels & More Music Possibilities
In a series of new interviews today, Green Day did imply that this will be their last album with Warner Records. They’ve been with the major label since the early 1990s, and all of their albums from Dookie onwards have been released by Warner.
Additionally, the band members also suggested the possibility of them releasing a second album 2020 – possibly on their own label after leaving Warner. Hmmm…
Hella Mega Tour
Coinciding with the release of “Father Of All…” and the announcement of their new album, Green Day also announced a massive upcoming tour. The Hella Mega Tour will see Green Day co-headlining with Fall Out Boy and Weezer, with The Interrupters supporting the bands.
