Which Green Day album includes the song 'Holiday'?

The story behind the answer

The Green Day album that includes the song “Holiday” is American Idiot. Released on September 21, 2004, the album was Green Day’s seventh studio record and a dramatic return after the comparatively muted reception of 2000’s Warning.

“Holiday” is the album’s third track and was released as its third single in March 2005. It is an explicitly political protest song that criticizes war, political manipulation, and public apathy. The song flows directly into “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” making the two tracks feel like a connected sequence in the album’s broader rock-opera narrative.

American Idiot also contains “Jesus of Suburbia,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” and the title track. Its commercial success was historic for the band: it became Green Day’s first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 and eventually sold millions of copies worldwide. A frequent mix-up is choosing 21st Century Breakdown because that album also contains politically charged material, but “Holiday” belongs specifically to American Idiot.
