Which album includes the song 'Wake Me Up When September Ends'?

The song “Wake Me Up When September Ends” appears on Green Day’s album American Idiot. Released in 2004, American Idiot was the band’s seventh studio album and their first major concept record, following a fictional suburban character through political anger, alienation, and personal loss.

Unlike many songs on the album, “Wake Me Up When September Ends” is primarily autobiographical. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote it about the death of his father, Andy, who died in September 1982. Armstrong later connected the song’s recurring September imagery with the long process of grieving that followed.

The track became the fourth single from American Idiot in 2005 and reached number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Its music video used a dramatic wartime storyline, which led many listeners to interpret the song mainly as a statement about the Iraq War or the September 11 attacks. Those interpretations are understandable, but Armstrong’s father was the song’s central personal inspiration.

The other choices are later or earlier Green Day albums. Revolution Radio includes “Still Breathing,” Dookie includes “When I Come Around,” and 21st Century Breakdown is a separate 2009 concept album.
