On the band's return with a new album,  Billie Joe Armstrong said in a press release:

Of course the world has lost its collective mind... and me, Mike and Tré are lost souls too. “‘Revolution Radio’ is a movement for lost souls to come together... dance together... sing together... and most of all, find each other. That's what the spirit of Green Day has been about since day one.”

"Bang Bang" is told from the perspective of a mass shooter. Armstrong told Rolling Stone:

It's about the culture of mass shooting that happens in America mixed with narcissistic social media. There's this sort of rage happening, but it's also now being filmed and we all have ourselves under surveillance. To me, that is so twisted. To get into the brain of someone like that was freaky. It freaked me out. After I wrote it, all I wanted to do was get that out of my brain because it just freaked me out."
