Saviors is the fourteenth studio album by the American rock band Green Day, released on January 19, 2024, through Reprise Records.

[11] In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1, Billie Joe Armstrong stated that seven songs had not made it to their last album, Father of All Motherfuckers (2020), which was met with mixed reviews.

In February 2021, one year after the previous album's release, "Here Comes the Shock", a song produced by Butch Walker, debuted as part of the band's two-year deal with the NHL.

[14] Another standalone song, "Pollyanna", self-produced by the band, was released in May 2021, to celebrate the Hella Mega Tour, which had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prior to the album's release, the band played "1981" during their live performance at Festival d'été de Québec on July 16, 2023.

[18] The band announced the album on October 24, 2023, and released its lead single "The American Dream Is Killing Me" alongside its music video.

[13] While it was the first track written for the album, it was kept in a box for a while, according to Billie Joe Armstrong, who revealed that once they recorded it, they immediately decided to release the song as the lead single.

[26] On the evening of January 16, 2024, the band appeared in a surprise performance in the 47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center station of the New York subway system, with late-night host Jimmy Fallon joining them on tambourine to help draw attention to the upcoming album and tour, and played several songs including "Look Ma, No Brains!

It depicts a youth named Paul Kennedy, holding a stone and shrugging, on the Falls Road, Belfast in front of a moving car with a burning garbage pile in the background.

[36] DIY's Emma Swann called the album "an outstanding record that showcases that same still unrivalled ability to incorporate biting social commentary within perfect, three-minute pop (punk) songs.

"[39] NME's Andrew Trendell called it Green Day's best album since American Idiot as well as "an act of defiance met with a shrug; a band saying, 'We're still here and we're still fucked'".

[44] Reviewing the album for AllMusic, senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that "Green Day sound exactly like what they are: rock & roll lifers settling into middle age, irritated by some shifts in culture but still finding sustenance in the music they've loved for decades."

and concluded that, "Age may dampen Green Day's roar, but it has also heightened their songcraft, and that's reason enough to give Saviors time to let its hooks sink in.
