"Waiting" is a song by American rock band Green Day. It was released as the third single from their sixth album, Warning, and is the tenth track. The song peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart.[5]

The melody of the song has been compared to Petula Clark's "Downtown".[6]

The song was also well received by critics. NME, in its review, stated that "'Waiting', with its Mamas & Papas melody and its Kiss Army hook, could sit respectably alongside the band's best material."[7] Slant called the song "instantly memorable".[6]

Music video

The video features Green Day playing in a house while a bunch of young adults are jumping around, breaking various items and having a party. For the majority of the video, the partygoers are in slow motion while the band is playing normally; eventually, the partygoers briefly freeze in time until the last part of the video when they return to normal. It was directed by Marc Webb.[8]
