Data Insight

Father of All Motherfuckers is Green Day's shortest album, a 26-minute set drawing on garage rock, glam and soul-pop. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the lyrics and the music is credited to Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, with Butch Walker co-producing alongside the band. The writing is the band's own, though Oh Yeah! interpolates a Joan Jett song and shares its songwriter credits.

Green Day's thirteenth studio album, released February 7, 2020. At just 26 minutes, it is the band's shortest studio album. The sound draws on glam rock and garage pop rather than straightforward punk, featuring prominent falsetto vocals from Armstrong. 'Oh Yeah!' contains a sample of a Gary Glitter and Mike Leander composition as performed by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
