“Bobby Sox is one of my favourite songs on the album,” frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said in a press release. “It’s the 90s song that we never wrote. It started out being a song I wrote for my wife but as it materialized, I wanted to switch it up and added, ‘Do you wanna be my boyfriend?’ on top of ‘Do you wanna be girlfriend’… So the song becomes a kind of universal anthem.
In a recent interview with the LA Times, Armstrong spoke about playing Bobby Sox, which explores gender fluidity, to a friend of a similar age to him. “And it brought a tear to his eye when he heard the second verse,” Armstrong said.
“Nowadays it’s more common for kids to be LGBTQ, and there’s more support. But for us, back in the day,” he continued, referring to the late ’80s and early ’90s, “that was like the beginning of when people were able to openly say things like that.”
