"Still Breathing" is a song by American rock band Green Day. It was released on September 23, 2016, as the third single from their twelfth studio album, Revolution Radio (2016). It is considered to be an emotionally dark song that explores the theme of individuals finding strength in the face of hardship and tough times. The song's music video –released on November 7, 2016 –reflected upon that theme.

"Still Breathing" received widespread critical acclaim and was praised for its sentimental concept and spirited musical composition. It peaked at number one on the US Alternative Songs, Mainstream Rock, Rock Airplay, and Canada Rock charts, and appeared on various other international charts.

Background and release

“There’s a band called 5 Seconds of Summer who wanted me to write a song for them. All of a sudden I was writing the lyrics, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, there’s no fucking way I’m giving these guys this song.’ There’s all those [lyrics] where it’s the last moment of someone’s life — it’s so intense. It’s just a song about being a survivor.”

—Billie Joe Armstrong on the origin and meaning of "Still Breathing" for People. [1]

In 2015, Green Day began recording material at OTIS, Billie Joe Armstrong's studio in Oakland, California, for their twelfth studio album Revolution Radio. [2] The album was conceived by the band as a "back-to-basics" move, following the rushed ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tre! trilogy of albums and Armstrong's rehab. [3] Armstrong had previously written "Still Breathing" for the Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer, but deemed the song too intense. [1]

"Still Breathing" was released on September 23, 2016 through a lyric video published to YouTube, and was released for digital download the same day. [4] [5] Later, on November 7, a music video directed by P.R. Brown for the song was released to YouTube. [6] The video features shots of Armstrong walking through streets and Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool practicing in a warehouse, culminating with the band reuniting in the warehouse. [7] Between scenes, various people, including a farmer, a child, and a military veteran, pensively stare as they "find simple salvation in the beauty of nature". [8] [9] The song was later released as part of the band's 2017 greatest hits album God's Favorite Band . [10]

Composition and lyrics

"Still Breathing" is a slow-burning [11] song which begins with "quickly strummed acoustic guitars and a spare beat," [12] before building up to a heavier sound driven by electric guitar in its chorus. [13] Anna Gaca of Spin described "Still Breathing" as a "paint-by-number pop-punk song," [14] while Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan instead categorized it as alternative rock [15] and Alternative Press called the song an "emo anthem." [16] The song's production has also been labeled as "radio-friendly." [17] Matt Melis and Collin Brennan of Consequence noted that "Still Breathing" sounded "engineered to sit alongside other motivational pop anthems," [18] while Chris Deville of Stereogum characterized the song as a power ballad with pop sensibilities. [19]

Alternative Press called the melody of the "Still Breathing" an earworm, [20] while Ivy Nelson of Pitchfork noted it was the "most successful melody" on the album. [21] However, the songwriters of the Struts' 2013 song "Could Have Been Me" received co-writing credits on "Still Breathing" due to similarities between their melodies. [22]

The lyrics of "Still Breathing," according to Armstrong, are about being a survivor and overcoming adversity. [1] [23] The song's lyrics are mostly similes about various characters like a gambler and a soldier confronting "all kinds of potential trauma." [24] Gil Kaufman of Billboard suggested that these comparisons ultimately connected to the premise of "slogging through it all to make 'my way to you'." [12] Armstrong also noted the line "I'm still breathing on my own" alludes to how "at some point, we’re all going to have to be on life support." [25] Andy Greene of Rolling Stone noted that the lyrics also reflected Armstrong's personal struggles, however Armstrong responded that he avoided introspection when writing the song's lyrics in lieu of "mak[ing] people happy" and "creat[ing] a difference in some way, just by people recognizing themselves in the song." [2]

"Still Breathing" received a generally positive reception from music critics. Entertainment Weekly's Kevin O'Donnell praised the song as a "three-minute blast of life-affirming punk," [26] while NME 's Rhian Daly called the song an "air-punching punk glory full of strength, power and guts." [27] Multiple critics considered "Still Breathing" to be one of the best song on Revolution Radio, [lower-alpha 1] with The A.V. Club 's Alex McLevy calling it the "statement of purpose" for the album as an "acknowledgement that most of the time, all we have to hang on to is the knowledge that we’re still alive." [30]

Critics lauded the song as a return to form for the band, [12] [31] with Uproxx 's Chris Morgan praising its "Green Day sound" despite being "slightly less snotty and brash as some of their earlier tracks." [24] However, the song's more pop-like production was met with mixed reception. On release, Loudwire 's Graham Hartmann called the song the "radio-friendly" and the "poppiest cut from the album yet," however he wrote that it "maintain[ed] that classic Green Day feel." [17] In addition, Far Out 's Tyler Golsen called the song "a hell of a pop song," saying that the band was "reaching for something that lies slightly into the future" instead of only being reminiscent of the band's "glory days." [28] However, ABC News noted that the song sounded "written to please bland, modern radio-ballad standards." [32] Additionally, Stereogum 's Tom Breihan negatively compared the song's "heart-on-sleeve sugar-rush harmonies" to Blink-182. [33]

The lyrics of "Still Alive" were positively received, with critics calling them "inspirational" [12] and "powerful." [16] Morgan wrote how "There’s something about a punk band that has been around for more than 25 years singing a song with lyrics like 'I’m still alive.'" [24] Pitchfork 's Ivy Nelson additionally praised the song for having "Armstrong's most convincing lyrics" on Revolution Radio, despite being "restricted to the traditional designs of pop-punk." [21] The song's lyrics have also been praised for being "immensely vulnerable," [23] despite DIY 's Emma Swann noting that the song's vocals were "not as vulnerable as the lyrics might warrant." [34] However, the lyrics of "Still Breathing" have been criticized for being clichéd, with Spin 's Anna Gaca writing that "sometimes overcoming personal challenges and tragedies leads to heartbreaking lyrical insight, and sometimes it leads to 'Still Breathing'." [14] Paste 's Reed Strength similarly called the song's lyrics "cringe-inducing." [35]

Chart performance

"Still Breathing" peaked at number one on the US Alternative Songs, Mainstream Rock, and Rock Airplay charts. It became their 11th number one on the US Alternative Songs chart, surpassing Foo Fighters and tying with Linkin Park for the second most number one positions –behind only the Red Hot Chili Peppers with 13. [36] The song became their fifth number one on the US Mainstream Rock chart, [37] and along with "Bang Bang", this become the first time since American Idiot (2004) that two of their singles from the same album reached the number one spot on the US Alternative Songs and Mainstream Rock charts. [36] [37]

The song became Green Day's fourth number one on the US Rock Airplay chart, the second-most number ones of any band, behind only Foo Fighters with five. [38] While "Know Your Enemy" (2009) and "Bang Bang" have topped the three charts –US Alternative Songs, Mainstream Rock, and Rock Airplay charts –this was the first time that a single of theirs had reached the number one position on those three charts simultaneously. [39]

"Still Breathing" reached number 11 and 17 on the US Hot Rock Songs and Adult Alternative Songs, respectively. [40] [41] The song peaked at number one on the Canada Rock, [42] and number two on the UK Rock charts. [43] The song also charted in Belgium (Ultratip Flanders), Czech Republic (Rádio Top 100 Oficiální), and Slovakia (Rádio Top 100 Oficiální).

<i>Insomniac</i> (Green Day album) 1995 studio album by Green Day

Insomniac is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Green Day, released on October 10, 1995, by Reprise Records. It was recorded at Hyde Street in San Francisco, and the band prioritized high-energy takes during the recording sessions. Released as the follow-up to the band's multi-platinum breakthrough Dookie, Insomniac featured a heavier, hardcore punk sound, with bleaker lyrics than its predecessor. Lyrically, the album discusses themes such as alienation, anxiety, boredom, and drug use. Insomniac also served as a reaction to many early fans who had turned their backs on the band after it achieved mainstream success with Dookie.

<i>Dookie</i> 1994 studio album by Green Day

Dookie is the third studio album by the American rock band Green Day, released on February 1, 1994, by Reprise Records. The band's major label debut and first collaboration with producer Rob Cavallo, it was recorded in late summer 1993 at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California. Written mostly by frontman and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, the album is largely based on his personal experiences and includes themes such as boredom, anxiety, relationships, and sexuality. It was promoted with four singles: "Longview", "Basket Case", a re-recorded version of "Welcome to Paradise", and "When I Come Around".

<i>American Idiot</i> 2004 studio album by Green Day

American Idiot is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Green Day, released on September 21, 2004, by Reprise Records. As with their previous four albums, it was produced by Rob Cavallo in collaboration with the group. Recording sessions for American Idiot took place at Studio 880 in Oakland and Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood, both in California, between 2003 and 2004. A concept album, dubbed a "punk rock opera" by the band members, American Idiot follows the story of Jesus of Suburbia, a lower-middle-class American adolescent anti-hero. The album expresses the disillusionment and dissent of a generation that came of age in a period shaped by tumultuous events such as 9/11 and the Iraq War. In order to accomplish this, the band used unconventional techniques for themselves, including transitions between connected songs and some long, chaptered, creative compositions presenting the album themes.

Alternative Airplay is a music chart in the United States that has appeared in Billboard magazine since September 10, 1988. It ranks the 40 most-played songs on alternative and modern rock radio stations. Introduced as Modern Rock Tracks, the chart served as a companion to the Mainstream Rock chart, and its creation was prompted by the explosion of alternative music on American radio in the late 1980s. During the first several years of the chart, it regularly featured music that did not receive commercial radio airplay anywhere but on a few modern rock and college rock radio stations. This included many electronic and post-punk artists. Gradually, as alternative rock became more mainstream, alternative and mainstream rock radio stations began playing many of the same songs. By the late 2000s, the genres became more fully differentiated with only limited crossover. The Alternative Airplay chart features more alternative rock, indie pop, and pop punk artists while the Mainstream Rock chart leans towards more guitar-tinged blues rock, hard rock, and heavy metal.
