Green Day | When I Come Around (1994)

"When I Come Around" is a song released by American rock band Green Day. It is the tenth track on their third studio album, Dookie, and was released as the fourth single from that album in December 1994, being physically released on January 31, 1995.

It was played live as early as 1992. "When I Come Around" was Green Day's most popular radio single in their early career, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. This was their highest-charting radio single until 2004's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" peaked at No. 2.


"When I Come Around" was one of the most successful songs of 1995. It topped Billboard's Alternative Songs chart for seven weeks, and it also hit number two on the Mainstream Rock Tracks.


It was Green Day's third straight number-one from Dookie (after "Longview" and "Basket Case").


As of August 2010, "When I Come Around" has sold 639,000 copies. This makes it the band's second best-selling single of the 1990s, behind only their 1997 hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)".
