Red Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I like the song, I don't love it... yet. The most disappointing thing for me is that I was expecting a Bang Bang album based on what the interviews, album descriptions and band said (Y'know the whole kill pop punk thing and the whole if you like Bang Bang, we think you'll love the rest of the album). We have now officially heard more than a quarter of it and there is only one Bang Bang so far. It's also a little bit annoying that it was co-written by someone that I have never heard of and that someone is not a part of the band. I thought Green Day always wrote their own stuff but I could be wrong. Anyways, I'm sure it will grow on me, like RevRad did, but as some people have said earlier, I'm going to have to agree that this song was made with the intention of being a radio friendly pop song that is most definitely going to be a single, probably even the next one with RevRad following after.

Nah I don't think they sat down and went "let's write a radio song", it's just BJ's honesty and this is how it came out. I, for one, am loving it, seems like a mix of some real good stuff on this album. An album of Bang Bang's doesn't sound appealing to me, as much as I like the song.

DeJennsitized Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Guys, the song wasn't actually co-written by anyone else. Billie Joe sampled a melody from a song and had to give them credit. A technicality. The lyrics are all Billie's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I was really only talking about the music, it does kind of sound like a recipe for a pop song, but as far as lyrics go I can tell it's 100% BJ.

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Ok, found it, they sampled part of this song. It's co-written by Adam Slack (also mentioned in the credits of Still Breathing) and the Red Triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie didn't write AI (album) expecting it to be a worldwide powerhouse, it's just how it turned out. Songs are written for a reason and if it gets radio-play then great, if not, who gives a shit?

I thought Green Day always wrote their own stuff but I could be wrong. 5 minutes ago, xLumian said: Still Breathing is co-written by someone outside of the band? The co-writing credit is because Green Day have 'sampled' a song that these guys have written (heard & liked the song, so taken a key element (most likely melody) and then written their own song around it. It's a legal requirement under copyright law that the original source of inspiration is properly credited, otherwise it could go to a court case (think blurred lines) and the original writers could be entitled to up to 100% of the revenue from Green Day's song, even though, for all intents and purposes, it is very much personal to Green Day and original in its own right. The 'co-writers' have likely never met the band, let alone written it together, but it's only right that they receive credit for their role in inspiring the song. Green Day has written like this many times before (Brutal Love, Waiting etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Holly Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 My only complaint is that most of the song titles are so boring/samey that I couldn't remember where in the album this was. Somewhere now/say goodbye/still breathing and forever now are just so generic. I spent the last 3 hours thinking this was the opening track.

Still not listened to Still Breathing as I'm waiting for it to drop officially, are the two songs very similar or is the credit literally just there to avoid a lawsuit?
